The iwidgets::timefield command creates an enhanced text entry

widget for the purpose of time entry with various degrees of built-in intelligence.

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

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

pathName option ?arg arg ...?

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

The following commands are possible for timefield widgets: path-

Name cget option Returns the current value of the configuration

option given by option. Option may have any of the values ac- cepted by the iwidgets::timefield command. pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configura- tion options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available 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 iwid*- gets::timefield command. pathName get ?format? Returns the cur- rent contents of the timefield in a format of string or as an in- teger clock value using the -string and -clicks format options respectively. The default is by string. Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining times and their for- mats. pathName isvalid Returns a boolean indication of the va- lidity of the currently displayed time value. For example, 12:59:59 is valid whereas 25:59:59 is invalid. pathName show time Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the time argument. The time may be specified either as a string, an inte- ger clock value or the keyword now (the default). Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining times and their formats.
