datefield - Tk datefield widget








package require Tk 


package require datefield ?0.3?


::datefield::datefield widgetpath
  ?options?


-format












The datefield package provides the datefield widget which
    is an enhanced text entry widget for the purpose of date entry. There are
    three valid formats for the dates which can be entered:



  
[1]

  
English form MM/DD/YYYY using -format "%m/%d/%Y"
      (default)

  
[2]

  
German form DD.MM.YYYY using -format "%d.%m.%Y"

  
[3]

  
ISO form YYYY-MM-DD using -format "%Y-%m-%d"




The datefield widget is, in fact, just an entry widget with
    specialized bindings. This means all the command and options for an entry
    widget apply equally here.









  
::datefield::datefield widgetpath ?options?

  
Creates and configures a date field widget.











  

  
One of "%m/%d/%Y" (English, default if option left),
      "%d.%m.%Y" (German), or "%Y-%m-%d" (ISO).




See the entry manual entry for details on all
    remaining/available options.
