The iwidgets::selectionbox command creates a scrolled list
    of items and a selection entry field. The user may choose any of the items
    displayed in the scrolled list of alternatives and the selection field will
    be filled with the choice. The user is also free to enter a new value in the
    selection entry field. Both the list and entry areas have labels. A child
    site is also provided in which the user may create other widgets to be used
    in conjunction with the selection box.










The iwidgets::selectionbox 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.










curselection	delete	index	nearest
scan	selection	size


See the "listbox" widget class manual entry for details
    on the associated methods.

      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      iwidgets::selectionbox command.

Delete the contents of either the selection entry widget or items list.
      The component argument may be either items or

      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 iwidgets::selectionbox command.
