DESCRIPTION

42       The  tixLabelEntry  command creates a new window (given by the pathName
43       argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry  widget.  Additional  options,
44       described  above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
45       database to configure aspects of the LabelEntry such as its cursor  and
46       relief.
47
48       The  LabelEntry  widget  packages  an entry widget and a label into one
49       mega widget. It can be used be used to simplify the creation of "entry-
50       form"  type  of  interface.  In this kind of interface, one must create
51       many entry widgets with label widgets next to them and describe the use
52       of each of the entry widgets.
53

WIDGET COMMANDS

55       The  tixLabelEntry  command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
56       same as the path name of the LabelEntry's window. This command  may  be
57       used  to  invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following
58       general form:
59              pathName option ?arg arg ...?
60       PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the  LabelEn‐
61       try  widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behav‐
62       ior of the command. The following commands are possible for  LabelEntry
63       widgets:
64
65       pathName cget option
66              Returns  the  current value of the configuration option given by
67              option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixLa‐
68              belEntry command.
69
70       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
71              Query  or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no
72              option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail‐
73              able  options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
74              on the format of this list).  If option  is  specified  with  no
75              value,  then the command returns a list describing the one named
76              option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist
77              of  the  value  returned  if no option is specified).  If one or
78              more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies
79              the  given  widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this
80              case the command returns an empty string.  Option may  have  any
81              of the values accepted by the tixLabelEntry command.
82
83       pathName subwidget name ?args?
84              When  no options are given, this command returns the pathname of
85              the subwidget of the specified name.
86
87              When options are given, the widget command of the specified sub‐
88              widget will be called with these options.
