WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Name:                   defaultRing
Class:                  DefaultRing
Command-Line Switch:    -defaultring
Boolean describing whether the button displays its default ring given in any of the forms acceptable to Tcl_GetBoolean. The default is false.
Name:                   defaultRingPad
Class:                  Pad
Command-Line Switch:    -defaultringpad
Specifies the amount of space to be allocated to the indentation of the default ring ring given in any of the forms acceptable to Tcl_GetPixels. The option has no effect if the defaultring option is set to false. The default is 2 pixels.
Name:                   height
Class:                  Height
Command-Line Switch:    -height
Specifies the height of the button inclusive of any default ring given in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. A value of zero lets the push button determine the height based on the requested height plus highlightring and defaultringpad.
Name:                   width
Class:                  Width
Command-Line Switch:    -width
Specifies the width of the button inclusive of any default ring given in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. A value of zero lets the push button determine the width based on the requested width plus highlightring and defaultringpad.

DESCRIPTION

The pushbutton command creates a push button with an optional default ring used for default designation and traversal.

METHODS

The pushbutton 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. The following commands are possible for pushbutton widgets:

ASSOCIATED METHODS

invoke

See the "button" manual entry for details on the associated 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 pushbutton 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 pushbutton command.

COMPONENTS

Name:                   pushbutton
Class:                  Button
The pushbutton component is the button surrounded by the optional default ring. See the "button" widget manual entry for details on the pushbutton component item.

EXAMPLE

pushbutton .pb -text "Hello" -command {puts "Hello World"} -defaultring 1
pack .pb -padx 10 -pady 10
