Description

The iwidgets::pushbutton command creates a push button with an

optional default ring used for default designation and traversal.

Methods

The iwidgets::pushbutton command creates a new Tcl command whose

name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:

Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.

Widget-specific Methods

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by

option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid- gets::pushbutton command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?

Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no

option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail- able 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 iwidgets::pushbutton command.

Components

Name: pushbutton

Class: Button

The pushbutton component is the button surrounded by the optional

default ring. See the «button» widget manual entry for details on the pushbutton component item.

Example

package require Iwidgets 4.0
iwidgets::pushbutton .pb -text «Hello» -command {puts «Hello World"} -defaultring 1 pack .pb -padx 10 -pady 10
