</pre><H2>DESCRIPTION</H2> |
|
<P> |
|
The <B>labeledwidget</B> command creates a labeled widget which contains |
|
a label and child site. The child site is a frame |
|
which can filled with any widget via a derived class or though the use |
|
of the childsite method. This class |
|
was designed to be a general purpose base class for supporting the |
|
combination of label widget and a childsite. The options include the |
|
ability to position the label around the childsite widget, modify the |
|
font and margin, and control the display of the labels. |
|
|
|
</pre><H2>METHODS</H2> |
|
<P> |
|
The <B>labeledwidget</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose |
|
name is <I>pathName</I>. This |
|
command may be used to invoke various |
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form: |
|
<pre> |
|
<I>pathName option </I>?<I>arg arg ...</I>? |
|
</pre> |
|
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s |
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following |
|
commands are possible for labeledwidget widgets: |
|
</pre><H2>WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS</H2> |
|
<DL> |
|
<DT> <I>pathName <B>childsite</B> |
|
</I></B> |
|
<DD> Return the path name of the child site. |
|
</DL> |
|
<DL> |
|
<DT> <I>pathName <B>cget</B> <I>option</I> |
|
</I></B> |
|
<DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given |
|
by <I>option</I>. |
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>labeledwidget</B> |
|
command. |
|
</DL> |
|
<DL> |
|
<DT> <I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value option value ...</I>? |
|
</I></B> |
|
<DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. |
|
If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list describing all of |
|
the available options for <I>pathName</I> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B> for |
|
information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I> is specified |
|
with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is specified). If |
|
one or more <I>option-value</I> 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. |
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>labeledwidget</B> |
|
command. |

|
</pre><H2>STATIC METHODS</H2> |
|
<DL> |
|
<DT> <B>Labeledwidget::alignlabels</B> <I>widget</I> ?<I>widget ...</I>? |
|
</I></B> |
|
<DD> The alignlabels procedure takes a list of widgets derived from |
|
the Labeledwidget class and uses the label margin to make each widget |
|
have the same total space for the combination of label and margin. The |
|
net effect is to left align the labels. Generally, this method is only |
|
useful with a label position of w, which is the default. |

</pre><H2>EXAMPLE</H2> |
|
<UL> |
|
The labeledwidget was primarily meant to be a base class. The |
|
ScrolledListBox and EntryField are good examples of derived |
|
classes of the labeledwidget class. In order to provide equal |
|
support for composite classes, the 'childsite' methods also exists. |
|
The following is an example of 'childsite' method usage. |
