tixDirSelectDialog - Create and manipulate directory selection dialogs.
tixDirSelectDialog pathName ?options?
TixDirSelectDialog supports all the standard options of a
toplevel widget. See the options manual entry for details on
the standard options.
- Command-Line Name: -command
- Database Name: command
- Database Class: Command
- Specifies the command to be called when the user selects a directory
in the dialog box. The command is called with one extra argument, the
complete pathname of the directory. If the user cancels the selection,
this command is not called.
Name: dirbox
Class: TixDirSelectBox
-
The DirSelectBox widget that consists of the main part of the dialog.
Name: cancel
Class: Button
-
The "Cancel" button.
Name: ok
Class: Buton
-
The "OK" button.
The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new window (given by
the pathName argument) and makes it into a DirSelectDialog
widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the
command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
DirSelectDialog such as its cursor and relief.
The DirSelectDialog widget presents the directories in the file system
in a dialog window. The user can use this dialog window to navigate
through the file system to select the desired directory.
The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the DirSelectDialog's window.
This command may be used to invoke various operations on the
widget. It has the following general form:
-
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the
DirSelectDialog widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for DirSelectDialog widgets:
- pathName cget option
-
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixDirSelectDialog 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
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 tixDirSelectDialog command.
- pathName popup
-
Pops up the DirSelectDialog widget on the screen.
- pathName subwidget name ?args?
-
When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the
subwidget of the specified name.
When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget
will be called with these options.
set dlg [tixDirSelectDialog .dlg -command SelectDir]
$dlg popup
proc SelectDir {dir} {
puts "You have selected \"$dir\""
}
