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