<DT>Command-Line Switch: <DD> <B>-iq</B>
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
Specifies the level of intelligence to be shown in the
actions taken by the datefield during the processing of
keypress events. Valid settings include <B>high</B>, <B>average</B>,
and <B>low</B>. With a high iq,the date prevents the user from
typing in an invalid date. For example, if the current
date is 05/31/1997 and the user changes the month to
04, then the day will be instantly modified for them to
be 30. In addition, leap years are fully taken into
account. With average iq, the month is limited to the
values of 01-12, but it is possible to type in an
invalid day. A setting of low iq instructs the widget
to do no validity checking at all during date entry.
With both average and low iq levels, it is assumed that
the validity will be determined at a later time using
the date's <B>isvalid</B> command.

<H2><A NAME="sect7" HREF="#toc7"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>datefield</B> command creates an enhanced text entry widget
for the purpose of date entry with various degrees of
built-in intelligence.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>datefield</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.
The following commands are possible for datefield
widgets:
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect9" HREF="#toc9"><B>WIDGET-SPECIFIC</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<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>datefield</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>datefield</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>get</B> ?<B>format</B>?<BR>
Returns the current contents of the datefield in a format
of string or as an integer clock value using the
<B>-string</B> and <B>-clicks</B> format options respectively. The
default is by string. Reference the clock command for
more information on obtaining dates and their formats.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>isvalid</B><BR>
Returns a boolean indication of the validity of the
currently displayed date value. For example,
03/03/1960 is valid whereas 02/29/1997 is invalid.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>show</B> <I>date</I><BR>
Changes the currently displayed date to be that of the
date argument. The date may be specified either as a
string, an integer clock value or the keyword "now".
Reference the clock command for more information on
obtaining dates and their formats.
