WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new Tcl command whose
window. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the
widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for ScrolledListBox widgets:
- pathName cget option
- Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixScrolledListBox command.
- pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
- Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If
no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for
information on the format of this list). If option is specified
with no value, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If
one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have
any of the values accepted by the tixScrolledListBox command.
- pathName subwidget name ?args?
- When no additional arguments are given, returns the pathname of the
subwidget of the specified name.
When no additional arguments are given, the widget command of the
specified subwidget will be called with these parameters.
BINDINGS
[1]
If the -browsecmd option is set, the command which it referes
to is called whenever a <ButtonPress-1> or a <Motion-1> event occurrs
inside the listbox subwidget.
[2]
The command specified by the -command option is invoked when a
<Double-1> event occurrs inside the listbox subwidget.
BUGS
The capitalization of some of the commands names in Tix 3.x has been
changed in Tix 4.0. All commands that ended with box have been
changed to a capitalized Box. Hence, the command
tixScrolledListbox in Tix 3.x has been changed to
tixScrolledListBox in Tix 4.0
