The iiwwiiddggeettss::::ffiilleesseelleeccttiioonnbbooxx command creates a file selection box similar to the OSF/Motif standard Xmfileselectionbox composite widget. The fileselectionbox is composed of directory and file scrolled lists as well as filter and selection entry fields. Bindings are in place such that selection of a directory list item loads the filter entry field and selection of a file list item loads the selection entryfield. Options exist to control the appearance and actions of the wid-
get. MMEETTHHOODDSS The iiwwiiddggeettss::::ffiilleesseelleeccttiioonnbbooxx command creates a new Tcl command whosename is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various opera-
tions 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 fileselectionbox widgets:WWIIDDGGEETT-SSPPEECCIIFFIICC MMEETTHHOODDSS
pathName ccggeett option Returns the current value of the configuration option given byoption. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iiwwiidd-

able options for pathName (see TTkkCCoonnffiigguurreeIInnffoo for information on the format of this list).

If one ormore 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 anyof the values accepted by the iiwwiiddggeettss::::ffiilleesseelleeccttiioonnbbooxx com-
mand. pathName ffiilltteerr Update the current contents of the file selection box based on the current filter entry field value. pathName ggeett Returns the current value of the selection entry widget.
