_________________________________________________________________
The spindate command creates a set of spinners for use in
date value entry. The set includes an month, day, and year
spinner widget.
The spindate 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 spindate 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 spindate 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 spindate command.
pathName get ?format?
Returns the current contents of the spindate widget in
a format of string or as an integer clock value using
the -string and -clicks format options respectively.
The default is by string. Reference the clock command
for more information on obtaining dates and their formats.
pathName show date
Changes the currently displayed date to be that of the
date argument. The date may be specified either as a
string, an integer clock value or the keyword "now".
Reference the clock command for more information on
obtaining dates and their formats.
