Widget Commands
The tixLabelEntry command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the
LabelEntry's window. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the
following general form:
pathNameoption ?argarg...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the LabelEntry widget's path name. Option and
the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for LabelEntry
widgets:
pathNamecgetoption
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the tixLabelEntry command.
pathNameconfigure ?option? ?valueoptionvalue...?
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 tixLabelEntry
command.
