<H2><A NAME="sect7" HREF="#toc7"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>selectionbox</B> command creates a scrolled list of items
and a selection entry field. The user may choose any of the
items displayed in the scrolled list of alternatives and the
selection field will be filled with the choice. The user is
also free to enter a new value in the selection entry field.
Both the list and entry areas have labels. A child site is
also provided in which the user may create other widgets to
be used in conjunction with the selection box.
<P>
<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>METHODS</B></A></H2>
The <B>selectionbox</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.

See the "listbox" widget class manual entry for details on
the associated methods.

<H2><A NAME="sect10" HREF="#toc10"><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>selectionbox</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>childsite</B><BR>
Returns the child site widget path name.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>clear</B> <I>component</I><BR>
Delete the contents of either the selection entry
widget or items list. The <I>component</I> argument may be
either <B>items</B> or <B>selection</B>.
<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>selectionbox</B> command.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>get</B><BR>
Returns the current value of the selection entry
widget.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>insert</B> <I>component</I> <I>args</I><BR>
Insert element(s) into either the selection entry
widget or items list. The <I>component</I> argument may be
either <B>items</B> or <B>selection</B>. The <I>args</I> follow the rules
of either an entry or list widget depending on the <I>com_</I>p<I>onent</I>
value.
<P>
<I>pathName</I> <B>selectitem</B><BR>
Replace the selection entry field contents with the
currently selected items value.
