The timefield command creates an enhanced text entry widget
for the purpose of time entry with various degrees of
built-in intelligence.
The timefield 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 timefield
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 timefield 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 timefield command.
pathName get ?format?
Returns the current contents of the timefield 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 times and their formats.
pathName isvalid
Returns a boolean indication of the validity of the
currently displayed time value. For example, 12:59:59
is valid whereas 25:59:59 is invalid.
pathName show time
Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the
time argument. The time may be specified either as a
string, an integer clock value or the keyword "now"
(the default). Reference the clock command for more
information on obtaining times and their formats.
- Name:
