DESCRIPTION

The extfileselectiondialog command creates an extended file selection dialog which is slightly different than the fileselectiondialog widget. The differences are mostly cosmetic in that the listboxes are within a panedwindow and the entryfields for the filter and selection have been replaced by comboboxes. Other than that the interface is practically the same.

METHODS

The extfileselectiondialog 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 ...?

ASSOCIATED METHODS

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

INHERITED METHODS

See the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited methods.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the extfileselectiondialog 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 extfileselectiondialog command.
