The labeledframe command creates a hull frame with a grooved
relief, a label positioned within the grooved relief of the
hull frame, and a frame childsite. The frame childsite can
filled with any widget via a derived class or though the use
of the childsite method. This class was designed to be a
general purpose base class for supporting the combination of
labeled frame and a childsite. The options include the
ability to position the label at configurable locations
within the grooved relief of the hull frame, and control the
display of the label.
The labeledframe 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 labeledframe
widgets:
pathName childsite
Return the path name of the child site.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by option. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the labeledframe 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 labeledframe command.
- Name:
- label
- Class:
- label
The label component provides the label for the labeled
widget. See the "label" widget manual entry for
details on the label component item.
The labeledframe was primarily meant to be a base
class. The Radiobox is a good example of a derived
classe of the labeledframe class. In order to provide
equal support for composite classes, the `childsite'
methods also exists. The following is an example of
`childsite' method usage.
labeledframe .lw -labeltext "Entry Frame" -labelpos n
pack .lw -fill both -expand yes -padx 10 -pady 10
set cs [.lw childsite]
pack [Entryfield $cs.entry1 -labeltext "Name:"] -side top -fill x
pack [Spinint $cs.entry2 -labeltext "Number:"] -side top -fill x
pack [Pushbutton $cs.entry3 -text "Details:"] -side top -fill x
