              The iconbutton component  provides  a  labelbutton  component  to  act  as  a  lightweight  button
              displaying  the  calendar  icon.   Upon  pressing  the labelbutton, the calendar appears.  See the
              "label" widget manual entry for details on the labelbutton component item.

       Name:           date
       Class:          Entry

              The date component provides the entry field for date input and display.  See  the  "entry"  widget
              manual entry for details on the date component item.

       combining the datefield and calendar widgets together.  This allows a user to  enter  the  date  via  the
       keyboard or by using the mouse and selecting the calendar icon which brings up a popup calendar.

iwidgets::dateentrypathName ?options?

pathNamecgetoption
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.  Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the iwidgets::dateentry 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
              iwidgets::dateentry command.
