109       widget subcommands (see ttk::widget(n) for details):
110
111              cget                  configure            identify

VIRTUAL EVENTS

116       The combobox widget generates a <<ComboboxSelected>> virtual event when
117       the  user selects an element from the list of values.  If the selection
118       action unposts the listbox, this event is delivered after  the  listbox
119       is unposted.
