<H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>buttonbox</B> command creates a manager widget for controlling
buttons. The button box also supports the display and
invocation of a default button. The button box can be configured
either horizontally or vertically.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect7" HREF="#toc7"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>buttonbox</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:
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <I>option</I> ?<I>arg</I> <I>arg</I> ...?
<P>
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s determine the exact behavior of the command.
<P>
Many of the widget commands for the buttonbox take as one
argument an indicator of which button of the button box to
operate on. These indicators are called <I>indexes</I> and allow
reference and manipulation of buttons regardless of their
current map state. buttonbox indexes may be specified in
any of the following forms:
<P>
<DL>
<DT><I>number</I> <DD> Specifies the button numerically, where 0
corresponds to the left/top-most button of the
button box.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>end</B> <DD> Indicates the right/bottom-most button of the
button box.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><B>default</B> <DD> Indicates the current default button of the button
box. This is the button with the default
ring displayed.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<DL>
<DT><I>pattern</I> <DD> If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above
forms then this form is used. <I>Pattern</I> is
pattern-matched against the tag of each button
in the button box, in order from left/top to
right/left, until a matching entry is found.
The rules of <B>Tcl_StringMatch</B> are used.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>WIDGET-SPECIFIC</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<I>pathName</I> <B>add</B> <I>tag</I> <I>args</I><BR>
Add a button distinguished by <I>tag</I> to the end of the
button box. If additional arguments are present they
specify options to be applied to the button. See <B>PushButton</B>
for information on the options available.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>buttonconfigure</B> <I>index</I> ?<I>options</I>?<BR>
This command is similar to the <B>configure</B> command,
except that it applies to the options for an individual
button, whereas <B>configure</B> applies to the options for
the button box as a whole. <I>Options</I> may have any of the
values accepted by the <B>PushButton</B> command. If <I>options</I>
are specified, options are modified as indicated in the
command and the command returns an empty string. If no
<I>options</I> are specified, returns a list describing the
current options for entry <I>index</I> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B>
for information on the format of this list).
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>cget</B> <I>option</I><BR>
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>buttonbox</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I> ...?
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</I> - <I>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>buttonbox</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>default</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Sets the default button to the button given by <I>index</I>.
This causes the default ring to appear arround the
specified button.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>delete</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Deletes the button given by <I>index</I> from the button box.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>hide</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Hides the button denoted by <I>index</I>. This doesn't remove
the button permanently, just inhibits its display.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>index</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Returns the numerical index corresponding to <I>index</I>.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>insert</B> <I>index</I> <I>tag</I> ?<I>option</I> <I>value</I> <I>option</I> <I>value</I> ...?
Same as the <B>add</B> command except that it inserts the new
button just before the one given by <I>index</I>, instead of
appending to the end of the button box. The <I>option</I>,
and <I>value</I> arguments have the same interpretation as for
the <B>add</B> widget command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>invoke</B> ?<I>index</I>?<BR>
Invoke the command associated with a button. If no
arguments are given then the current default button is
invoked, otherwise the argument is expected to be a
button <I>index</I>.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>show</B> <I>index</I><BR>
Display a previously hidden button denoted by <I>index</I>.
