DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new window (given
Page 2 (printed 12/22/98)
tixScrolledListBox(n) Tix (4.0) tixScrolledListBox(n)
by the pathName argument) and makes it into a
ScrolledListBox widget. Additional options, described
above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
database to configure aspects of the ScrolledListBox widget
such as its cursor and relief.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the
ScrolledListBox widget's 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 ScrolledListBox widget's path name. Option and the args
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
Page 3 (printed 12/22/98)
tixScrolledListBox(n) Tix (4.0) tixScrolledListBox(n)
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
