39The  iwidgets::dateentry command creates a quicken style date en‐
40try field with a popup calendar by combining  the  datefield  and
41calendar  widgets together.  This allows a user to enter the date
42via the keyboard or by using the mouse and selecting the calendar
43icon which brings up a popup calendar.
44
45The  iwidgets::dateentry  command creates a new Tcl command whose
46name is pathName.  This command may be used to invoke various op‐
47erations on the widget.  It has the following general form: path‐

Name option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the ex‐

49act behavior of the command.  The following commands are possible
50for dateentry widgets:

get isvalid show

52See the "datefield" manual entry for details  on  the  associated
53methods.   pathName  cget option Returns the current value of the
54configuration option given by option.  Option may have any of the
55values  accepted  by  the  iwidgets::dateentry command.  pathName

configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the

57configuration  options of the widget.  If no option is specified,
58returns a list describing all of the available options for  path‐

Name (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this

60list).  If option is specified with no value,  then  the  command
61returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be
62identical to the corresponding sublist of the value  returned  if
63no  option  is specified).  If one or more option−value pairs are
64specified, then the command modifies the given  widget  option(s)
65to  have the given value(s);  in this case the command returns an
66empty string.  Option may have any of the values accepted by  the

iwidgets::dateentry command.
