The TixOptionMenu class is derived from the
TixLabelWidget class and inherits all the commands, options and
subwidgets of its super-class.
The OptionMenu widget supports all the standard Tix widget
options. See the Tix-Options(n) manual entry for details on the
standard Tix widget options.

the command to be called when the -value option of the OptionMenu is
changed. The command will be called with one arguments -- the new value of
the OptionMenu widget. [-disablecallback

should be disabled. When set to true, the TCL command specified by the
-command option is not executed when the -value of the
OptionMenu widget changes. [-dynamicgeometry
dynamicGeometry] A boolean value indicating whether the size
of the menubutton subwidget should change dynamically to match the
width of the currently selected menu entry. If set to false (the default),
the the size of the menubutton subwidget will be wide enough to display
every menu entry fully and does not change when the user selects different
entries. [-label label] Specifies the
string to display as the label of this OptionMenu widget.
[-labelside labelSide] Specifies where
the label should be displayed relative to the entry subwidget. Valid options

[-value value] Specifies the value of

The tixOptionMenu command creates a new window (given by
the pathName argument) and makes it into a OptionMenu widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or
in the option database to configure aspects of the OptionMenu such as its
cursor and relief.
The tixOptionMenu command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is the same as the path name of the OptionMenu's window. This command
may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following
general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the OptionMenu
widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for OptionMenu
widgets:
- pathName
add type name ?option value ...?
- Adds a new item into the OptionMenu widget. type must be either
command or separator. The options may be any of the
valid options for the command or separator menu entry types
for the TK menu widget class, except -command.
- pathName
cget option
- Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
tixOptionMenu 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 tixOptionMenu command.

...?
- Query or modify the configuration options of the menu entry identified by
name. If no option is specified, returns a list describing
all of the available options for the menu entry (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 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 add widget command.

widget.
