.SH DESCRIPTION
'
.PP
'
The \fBtixLabelEntry\fR command creates a new window (given by
the \fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry
widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the
command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
LabelEntry such as its cursor and relief.
.PP
The LabelEntry widget packages an entry widget and a label into one
mega widget. It can be used be used to simplify the creation of
"entry-form" type of interface. In this kind of interface, one must
create many entry widgets with label widgets next to them and describe
the use of each of the entry widgets.
'
'
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH WIDGET COMMANDS
.PP
'
The \fBtixLabelEntry\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the LabelEntry's
window. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the
widget. It has the following general form:
'
.DS C
'
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
.PP
.DE
'
\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as the
LabelEntry widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the
\fIarg\fRs determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for LabelEntry widgets:
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
'
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
\fIoption\fR. \fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the
\fBtixLabelEntry\fR command.
'
'
.TP
'
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value option value ...\fR?
'
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no
\fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
information on the format of this list).  If \fIoption\fR is specified
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified).  If
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.  \fIOption\fR may have
any of the values accepted by the \fBtixLabelEntry\fR command.
'
'
'
.TP
\fIpathName \fBsubwidget \fIname ?args?\fR 
'
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.
