Widget Commands
The tixScrolledText command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the
ScrolledText widget'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 ScrolledText widget's path name. Option
and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for
ScrolledText widgets:
pathNamecgetoption
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the tixScrolledText 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
tixScrolledText command.
pathNamesubwidgetname?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.
Widget-Specific Options
[-heightheight] Specifies the desired height for the window, in pixels. [-scrollbarscrollbar]
Specifies the display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are recognized:
auto ?+x? ?-x? ?+y? ?-y?
When -scrollbar is set to "auto", the scrollbars are shown only when needed. Additional
modifiers can be used to force a scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example, "auto-y"
means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown when needed but the vertical scrollbar
should always be hidden; "auto+x" means the vertical scrollbar should be shown when needed
but the horizontal scrollbar should always be shown, and so on.
both Both scrollbars are shown
none The scrollbars are never shown.
x Only the horizontal scrollbar is shown;
y Only the vertical scrollbar is shown.
[-widthwidth] Specifies the desired width for the window, in pixels.
