BrowseEntry(3)	      perl/Tk Documentation	   BrowseEntry(3)

NAME
       Tk::BrowseEntry - entry widget with popup choices.

SYNOPSIS
	   use Tk::BrowseEntry;

	   $b = $frame->BrowseEntry(-label => "Label", -variable => \$var);
	   $b->insert("end", "opt1");
	   $b->insert("end", "opt2");
	   $b->insert("end", "opt3");
	   ...
	   $b->pack;

DESCRIPTION
       BrowseEntry is a poor man's ComboBox. It may be considered
       an enhanced version of LabEntry which provides a button to
       popup the choices of the possible values that the Entry
       may take. BrowseEntry supports all the options LabEntry
       supports except -textvariable. This is replaced by
       -variable. Other options that BrowseEntry supports.

       -listwidth
	   Specifies the width of the popup listbox.

       -variable
	   Specifies the variable in which the entered value is
	   to be stored.

METHODS
       insert(index, string)
	   Inserts the text of string at the specified index.
	   This string then becomes available as one of the
	   choices.

BUGS
       BrowseEntry should really provide more of the ComboBox
       options.

       There should be a way to delete entries which have been
       previously inserted.

       This code was inspired by ComboBox.tcl in Tix4.0 by Ioi
       Lam and bears more than a passing resemblance to ComboBox
       code. This may be distributed under the same conditions as
       Perl.
