Description

The extfileselectiondialog command creates an extended file

selection dialog which is slightly different than the fileselec- tiondialog 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mostly cosmetic in that the listboxes are within a panedwindow and the entryfields for the filter and selection have been replaced by comboboxes.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 vari- ous 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 extfileselectiondialog

widgets:

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 avail- able 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.

Components

Name: fsb

Class: Fileselectionbox

The fsb component is the extfileselectionbox for the extfilese-

lectiondialog. See the «extfileselectionbox» widget manual entry for details on the fsb component item.
