The value is the maximum number of chars the user may
type into the field, regardles of field width. For
example, if the field width is set to 20 and the fixed
value is 10, the user will only be able to type 10
characters into the field which is 20 characters long.

The validate option allows specification of a validation
mechanism. Standard character validation such as
<B>numeric</B>, <B>alphabetic</B>, <B>integer</B>, <B>hexidecimal</B>, <B>real</B>, and
<B>alphanumeric</B> can be handled through the use of keywords.
Should more extensive validation be necessary,
the value may contain the name of a command script.
The script should return a boolean value. True for
valid, false for invalid. If false is returned, then
the procedure associated with the invalid option will
be invoked. If the validation script contains any <B>%</B>
characters, then the script will not be executed
directly. Instead, a new script will be generated by
replacing each <B>%</B>, and the character following it, with
information from the entryfield. The replacement
depends on the character following the <B>%</B>, as defined in
the list below.
<P>
<DL>
<DT><B>%c</B> <DD>Replaced with the current input character.
<P>
</DD>
</DL>
<B>%P</B> Replaced with the contents of the entryfield modified
to include the latest keystoke. This is equivalent to
peeking at the future contents, enabling rejection
prior to the update.
<P>

prior to the latest keystroke being added.

<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>entryfield</B> command creates an enhanced text entry widget
with an optional associated label. Addtional options support
validation and establishing a upper limit on the number
of characters which may be entered in the field.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect9" HREF="#toc9"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>entryfield</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 entryfield
widgets:
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect10" HREF="#toc10"><B>ASSOCIATED</B> <B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
<B>delete</B> <B>get</B> <B>icursor</B> <B>index</B>
<B>insert</B> <B>scan</B> <B>selection</B> <B>xview</B>
<P>
See the "entry" manual entry for details on the associated
methods.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect11" HREF="#toc11"><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>entryfield</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>childsite</B><BR>
Returns the path name of the child site.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>clear</B><BR>
Clear entry widget
<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>entryfield</B> command.
