tixScrolledListBox - Create and manipulate Tix ScrolledListBox
widgets
tixScrolledListBox pathName ?options?
-anchor -background -cursor -relief -borderWidth
[-anchor anchor] Specifies
the alignment of the items inside the listbox subwidget. Only the values
w and e are allowed. When set to w, the listbox is
automatically aligned to the beginning of the items. When set to e,
the listbox is automatically aligned to the end of the items. Automatically
alignment only happens when the ScrolledListBox widget changes its size.
[-browsecmd browsecmd] Specifies the
command to be called when the user browses the elements inside the
listbox subwidget (see the BINDINGS section below).
[-command command] Specifies the
command to be called when the user invokes the listbox subwidget (see
the BINDINGS section below). [-height
height] Specifies the desired height for the window, in
pixels. [-scrollbar scrollbar]
Specifies the display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are
recognized:
- auto ?+x?
?-x? ?+y? ?-y?
- When -scrollbar is set to "auto", the scrollbars
are shown only when needed. Additional modifiers can be used to force a
scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example, "auto -y"
means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown when needed but the
vertical scrollbar should always be hidden; "auto +x"
means the vertical scrollbar should be shown when needed but the
horizontal scrollbar should always be shown, and so on.
- both
- Both scrollbars are shown
- none
- The scrollbars are never shown.
- x
- Only the horizontal scrollbar is shown;
- y
- Only the vertical scrollbar is shown.
[-width width] Specifies the desired width
for the window, in pixels.

The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new window (given
by the pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledListBox widget.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or
in the option database to configure aspects of the ScrolledListBox widget
such as its cursor and relief.
The tixScrolledListBox command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the ScrolledListBox widget'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
ScrolledListBox widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are
possible for ScrolledListBox 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
tixScrolledListBox 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 tixScrolledListBox command.
- pathName
subwidget name ?args?
- When no additional arguments are given, returns the pathname of the
subwidget of the specified name.
When no additional arguments are given, the widget command of
the specified subwidget will be called with these parameters.
- [1]
- If the -browsecmd option is set, the command which it referes to is
called whenever a <ButtonPress-1> or a <Motion-1> event
occurrs inside the listbox subwidget.
- [2]
- The command specified by the -command option is invoked when a
<Double-1> event occurrs inside the listbox subwidget.
The capitalization of some of the commands names in Tix 3.x has
been changed in Tix 4.0. All commands that ended with box have been
changed to a capitalized Box. Hence, the command
tixScrolledListbox in Tix 3.x has been changed to
tixScrolledListBox in Tix 4.0
