_________________________________________________________________
The dateentry command creates a quicken style date entry
field with a popup calendar by combining the datefield and
calendar widgets together. This allows a user to enter the
date via the keyboard or by using the mouse and selecting
the calendar icon which brings up a popup calendar.
The dateentry 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:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for dateentry
widgets:
- get
- isvalid show
See the "datefield" manual entry for details on the associated
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 dateentry 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 dateentry command.
