WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Command-Line Name:-buttonbackground

Database Name: buttonBackground Database Class: Background The background color to be used for the spin buttons.

Command-Line Name:-buttoncursor

Database Name: buttonCursor Database Class: Cursor The cursor to be used when over the spin buttons. If this is empty (the default), a default cursor will be used.

Command-Line Name:-buttondownrelief

Database Name: buttonDownRelief Database Class: Relief The relief to be used for the upper spin button.

Command-Line Name:-buttonuprelief

Database Name: buttonUpRelief Database Class: Relief The relief to be used for the lower spin button.

Command-Line Name:-command

Database Name: command Database Class: Command Tk Last change: 8.4 1

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

Specifies a Tcl command to invoke whenever a spinbutton is invoked. The command recognizes several percent

substitutions: %W for the widget path, %s for the

current value of the widget, and %d for the direction

of the button pressed (up or down).

Command-Line Name:-disabledbackground

Database Name: disabledBackground Database Class: DisabledBackground

Specifies the background color to use when the spinbox

is disabled. If this option is the empty string, the normal background color is used.

Command-Line Name:-disabledforeground

Database Name: disabledForeground Database Class: DisabledForeground

Specifies the foreground color to use when the spinbox

is disabled. If this option is the empty string, the normal foreground color is used.

Command-Line Name:-format

Database Name: format Database Class: Format Specifies an alternate format to use when setting the

string value when using the -from and -to range. This

must be a format specifier of the form %.f,

as it will format a floating-point number.

Command-Line Name:-from

Database Name: from Database Class: From

A floating-point value corresponding to the lowest

value for a spinbox, to be used in conjunction with -to

and -increment. When all are specified correctly, the

spinbox will use these values to control its contents.

This value must be less than the -to option. If

-values is specified, it supercedes this option.

Command-Line Name:-invalidcommand or -invcmd

Database Name: invalidCommand Database Class: InvalidCommand Specifies a script to eval when validateCommand returns 0. Setting it to an empty string disables this feature (the default). The best use of this option is to set it to bell. See Validation below for more information. Tk Last change: 8.4 2

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

Command-Line Name:-increment

Database Name: increment Database Class: Increment

A floating-point value specifying the increment. When

used with -from and -to, the value in the widget will

be adjusted by -increment when a spin button is pressed

(up adds the value, down subtracts the value).

Command-Line Name:-readonlybackground

Database Name: readonlyBackground Database Class: ReadonlyBackground

Specifies the background color to use when the spinbox

is readonly. If this option is the empty string, the normal background color is used.

Command-Line Name:-state

Database Name: state Database Class: State

Specifies one of three states for the spinbox: normal,

disabled, or readonly. If the spinbox is readonly,

then the value may not be changed using widget commands and no insertion cursor will be displayed, even if the input focus is in the widget; the contents of the

widget may still be selected. If the spinbox is dis-

abled, the value may not be changed, no insertion cur-

sor will be displayed, the contents will not be select-

able, and the spinbox may be displayed in a different

color, depending on the values of the -disabledfore-

ground and -disabledbackground options.

Command-Line Name:-to

Database Name: to Database Class: To

A floating-point value corresponding to the highest

value for the spinbox, to be used in conjunction with

-from and -increment. When all are specified

correctly, the spinbox will use these values to control

its contents. This value must be greater than the

-from option. If -values is specified, it supercedes

this option.

Command-Line Name:-validate

Database Name: validate Database Class: Validate Specifies the mode in which validation should operate: none, focus, focusin, focusout, key, or all. It defaults to none. When you want validation, you must Tk Last change: 8.4 3

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

explicitly state which mode you wish to use. See Vali-

dation below for more.

Command-Line Name:-validatecommand or -vcmd

Database Name: validateCommand Database Class: ValidateCommand

Specifies a script to evaluate when you want to vali-

date the input in the widget. Setting it to an empty string disables this feature (the default). Validation

occurs according to the value of -validate. This com-

mand must return a valid Tcl boolean value. If it returns 0 (or the valid Tcl boolean equivalent) then the value of the widget will not change and the invalidCommand will be evaluated if it is set. If it returns 1, then value will be changed. See Validation below for more information.

Command-Line Name:-values

Database Name: values Database Class: Values

Must be a proper list value. If specified, the spinbox

will use these values as to control its contents,

starting with the first value. This option has pre-

cedence over the -from and -to range.

Command-Line Name:-width

Database Name: width Database Class: Width Specifies an integer value indicating the desired width

of the spinbox window, in average-size characters of

the widget's font. If the value is less than or equal to zero, the widget picks a size just large enough to hold its current text.

Command-Line Name:-wrap

Database Name: wrap Database Class: wrap

Must be a proper boolean value. If on, the spinbox

will wrap around the values of data in the widget.

DESCRIPTION

The spinbox command creates a new window (given by the path-

Name argument) and makes it into a spinbox widget. Addi-

tional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects

of the spinbox such as its colors, font, and relief. The

Tk Last change: 8.4 4

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

spinbox command returns its pathName argument. At the time

this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named pathName, but pathName's parent must exist.

A spinbox is an extended entry widget that allows he user to

move, or spin, through a fixed set of ascending or descend-

ing values such as times or dates in addition to editing the

value as in an entry. When first created, a spinbox's

string is empty. A portion of the spinbox may be selected

as described below. If a spinbox is exporting its selection

(see the exportSelection option), then it will observe the

standard protocols for handling the selection; spinbox

selections are available as type STRING. Spinboxes also observe the standard Tk rules for dealing with the input

focus. When a spinbox has the input focus it displays an

insertion cursor to indicate where new characters will be inserted. Spinboxes are capable of displaying strings that are too long to fit entirely within the widget's window. In this

case, only a portion of the string will be displayed; com-

mands described below may be used to change the view in the window. Spinboxes use the standard xScrollCommand mechanism for interacting with scrollbars (see the description of the

xScrollCommand option for details). They also support scan-

ning, as described below. VALIDATION Validation works by setting the validateCommand option to a script which will be evaluated according to the validate option as follows: none Default. This means no validation will occur.

focus validateCommand will be called when the spinbox

receives or loses focus.

focusin validateCommand will be called when the spinbox

receives focus.

focusout validateCommand will be called when the spinbox

loses focus.

key validateCommand will be called when the spinbox is

edited.

all validateCommand will be called for all above con-

ditions.

It is possible to perform percent substitutions on the vali-

dateCommand and invalidCommand, just as you would in a bind Tk Last change: 8.4 5

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

script. The following substitutions are recognized:

%d Type of action: 1 for insert, 0 for delete, or -1 for

focus, forced or textvariable validation.

%i Index of char string to be inserted/deleted, if any,

otherwise -1.

%P The value of the spinbox should edition occur. If you

are configuring the spinbox widget to have a new

textvariable, this will be the value of that textvari-

able.

%s The current value of spinbox before edition.

%S The text string being inserted/deleted, if any. Other-

wise it is an empty string.

%v The type of validation currently set.

%V The type of validation that triggered the callback

(key, focusin, focusout, forced).

%W The name of the spinbox widget.

In general, the textVariable and validateCommand can be dangerous to mix. Any problems have been overcome so that

using the validateCommand will not interfere with the tradi-

tional behavior of the spinbox widget. Using the textVari-

able for read-only purposes will never cause problems. The

danger comes when you try set the textVariable to something that the validateCommand would not accept, which causes validate to become none (the invalidCommand will not be

triggered). The same happens when an error occurs evaluat-

ing the validateCommand. Primarily, an error will occur when the validateCommand or invalidCommand encounters an error in its script while evaluating or validateCommand does not return a valid Tcl boolean value. The validate option will also set itself to

none when you edit the spinbox widget from within either the

validateCommand or the invalidCommand. Such editions will override the one that was being validated. If you wish to edit the value of the widget during validation and still have the validate option set, you should include the command

%W config -validate %v

in the validateCommand or invalidCommand (whichever one you

were editing the spinbox widget from). It is also recom-

mended to not set an associated textVariable during valida-

tion, as that can cause the spinbox widget to become out of

sync with the textVariable. Tk Last change: 8.4 6

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

WIDGET COMMAND

The spinbox command creates a new Tcl command whose name 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 com-

mand.

Many of the widget commands for spinboxes take one or more

indices as arguments. An index specifies a particular char-

acter in the spinbox's string, in any of the following ways:

number Specifies the character as a numerical index, where 0 corresponds to the first character in the string. anchor Indicates the anchor point for the selection, which is set with the select from and select adjust widget commands. end Indicates the character just after the last one

in the spinbox's string. This is equivalent to

specifying a numerical index equal to the length

of the spinbox's string.

insert Indicates the character adjacent to and immedi-

ately following the insertion cursor. sel.first Indicates the first character in the selection. It is an error to use this form if the selection

isn't in the spinbox window.

sel.last Indicates the character just after the last one in the selection. It is an error to use this

form if the selection isn't in the spinbox win-

dow.

@number In this form, number is treated as an x-

coordinate in the spinbox's window; the charac-

ter spanning that x-coordinate is used. For

example, ``@0'' indicates the left-most charac-

ter in the window. Abbreviations may be used for any of the forms above, e.g.

``e'' or ``sel.f''. In general, out-of-range indices are

automatically rounded to the nearest legal value.

The following commands are possible for spinbox widgets:

pathName bbox index Returns a list of four numbers describing the bounding box of the character given by index. The first two Tk Last change: 8.4 7

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

elements of the list give the x and y coordinates of

the upper-left corner of the screen area covered by the

character (in pixels relative to the widget) and the last two elements give the width and height of the character, in pixels. The bounding box may refer to a region outside the visible area of the window. pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values

accepted by the spinbox 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 correspond-

ing 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 spinbox command.

pathName delete first ?last?

Delete one or more elements of the spinbox. First is

the index of the first character to delete, and last is the index of the character just after the last one to delete. If last isn't specified it defaults to

first+1, i.e. a single character is deleted. This com-

mand returns an empty string. pathName get

Returns the spinbox's string.

pathName icursor index Arrange for the insertion cursor to be displayed just before the character given by index. Returns an empty string. pathName identify x y Returns the name of the window element corresponding to

coordinates x and y in the spinbox. Return value is

one of: none, buttondown, buttonup, entry. pathName index index Returns the numerical index corresponding to index. pathName insert index string Tk Last change: 8.4 8

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

Insert the characters of string just before the charac-

ter indicated by index. Returns an empty string. pathName invoke element

Causes the specified element, either buttondown or but-

tonup, to be invoked, triggering the action associated with it. pathName scan option args

This command is used to implement scanning on spin-

boxes. It has two forms, depending on option: pathName scan mark x

Records x and the current view in the spinbox win-

dow; used in conjunction with later scan dragto commands. Typically this command is associated with a mouse button press in the widget. It returns an empty string. pathName scan dragto x This command computes the difference between its x argument and the x argument to the last scan mark command for the widget. It then adjusts the view

left or right by 10 times the difference in x-

coordinates. This command is typically associated with mouse motion events in the widget, to produce

the effect of dragging the spinbox at high speed

through the window. The return value is an empty string. pathName selection option arg This command is used to adjust the selection within a

spinbox. It has several forms, depending on option:

pathName selection adjust index Locate the end of the selection nearest to the character given by index, and adjust that end of the selection to be at index (i.e. including but not going beyond index). The other end of the selection is made the anchor point for future select to commands. If the selection isn't

currently in the spinbox, then a new selection is

created to include the characters between index and the most recent selection anchor point, inclusive. Returns an empty string. pathName selection clear Clear the selection if it is currently in this widget. If the selection isn't in this widget then the command has no effect. Returns an empty string. Tk Last change: 8.4 9

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

pathName selection element ?element? Sets or gets the currently selected element. If a spinbutton element is specified, it will be displayed depressed. pathName selection from index Set the selection anchor point to just before the character given by index. Doesn't change the selection. Returns an empty string. pathName selection present Returns 1 if there is are characters selected in

the spinbox, 0 if nothing is selected.

pathName selection range start end Sets the selection to include the characters starting with the one indexed by start and ending with the one just before end. If end refers to the same character as start or an earlier one,

then the spinbox's selection is cleared.

pathName selection to index If index is before the anchor point, set the selection to the characters from index up to but not including the anchor point. If index is the same as the anchor point, do nothing. If index is after the anchor point, set the selection to the characters from the anchor point up to but not including index. The anchor point is determined by the most recent select from or select adjust command in this widget. If the selection isn't in this widget then a new selection is created using the most recent anchor point specified for the widget. Returns an empty string. pathName set ?string?

If string is specified, the spinbox will try and set it

to this value, otherwise it just returns the spinbox's

string. If validation is on, it will occur when set-

ting the string. pathName validate This command is used to force an evaluation of the validateCommand independent of the conditions specified by the validate option. This is done by temporarily setting the validate option to all. It returns 0 or 1. pathName xview args This command is used to query and change the horizontal position of the text in the widget's window. It can take any of the following forms: Tk Last change: 8.4 10

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

pathName xview

Returns a list containing two elements. Each ele-

ment is a real fraction between 0 and 1; together they describe the horizontal span that is visible in the window. For example, if the first element

is .2 and the second element is .6, 20% of the

spinbox's text is off-screen to the left, the mid-

dle 40% is visible in the window, and 40% of the

text is off-screen to the right. These are the

same values passed to scrollbars via the

-xscrollcommand option.

pathName xview index

Adjusts the view in the window so that the charac-

ter given by index is displayed at the left edge of the window. pathName xview moveto fraction

Adjusts the view in the window so that the charac-

ter fraction of the way through the text appears at the left edge of the window. Fraction must be a fraction between 0 and 1. pathName xview scroll number what This command shifts the view in the window left or right according to number and what. Number must be an integer. What must be either units or pages or an abbreviation of one of these. If what is units, the view adjusts left or right by number

average-width characters on the display; if it is

pages then the view adjusts by number screenfuls. If number is negative then characters farther to the left become visible; if it is positive then characters farther to the right become visible. DEFAULT BINDINGS

Tk automatically creates class bindings for spinboxes that

give them the following default behavior. In the descrip-

tions below, ``word'' refers to a contiguous group of

letters, digits, or ``_'' characters, or any single charac-

ter other than these. [1] Clicking mouse button 1 positions the insertion cursor just before the character underneath the mouse cursor, sets the input focus to this widget, and clears any selection in the widget. Dragging with mouse button 1 strokes out a selection between the insertion cursor and the character under the mouse.

[2] Double-clicking with mouse button 1 selects the word

under the mouse and positions the insertion cursor at Tk Last change: 8.4 11

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

the beginning of the word. Dragging after a double click will stroke out a selection consisting of whole words.

[3] Triple-clicking with mouse button 1 selects all of the

text in the spinbox and positions the insertion cursor

before the first character. [4] The ends of the selection can be adjusted by dragging with mouse button 1 while the Shift key is down; this will adjust the end of the selection that was nearest to the mouse cursor when button 1 was pressed. If the

button is double-clicked before dragging then the

selection will be adjusted in units of whole words. [5] Clicking mouse button 1 with the Control key down will

position the insertion cursor in the spinbox without

affecting the selection.

[6] If any normal printing characters are typed in a spin-

box, they are inserted at the point of the insertion cursor.

[7] The view in the spinbox can be adjusted by dragging

with mouse button 2. If mouse button 2 is clicked without moving the mouse, the selection is copied into

the spinbox at the position of the mouse cursor.

[8] If the mouse is dragged out of the spinbox on the left

or right sides while button 1 is pressed, the spinbox

will automatically scroll to make more text visible (if

there is more text off-screen on the side where the

mouse left the window). [9] The Left and Right keys move the insertion cursor one character to the left or right; they also clear any

selection in the spinbox and set the selection anchor.

If Left or Right is typed with the Shift key down, then the insertion cursor moves and the selection is

extended to include the new character. Control-Left

and Control-Right move the insertion cursor by words,

and Control-Shift-Left and Control-Shift-Right move the

insertion cursor by words and also extend the selec-

tion. Control-b and Control-f behave the same as Left

and Right, respectively. Meta-b and Meta-f behave the

same as Control-Left and Control-Right, respectively.

[10] The Home key, or Control-a, will move the insertion

cursor to the beginning of the spinbox and clear any

selection in the spinbox. Shift-Home moves the inser-

tion cursor to the beginning of the spinbox and also

extends the selection to that point. Tk Last change: 8.4 12

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

[11] The End key, or Control-e, will move the insertion cur-

sor to the end of the spinbox and clear any selection

in the spinbox. Shift-End moves the cursor to the end

and extends the selection to that point.

[12] The Select key and Control-Space set the selection

anchor to the position of the insertion cursor. They

don't affect the current selection. Shift-Select and

Control-Shift-Space adjust the selection to the current

position of the insertion cursor, selecting from the anchor to the insertion cursor if there was not any selection previously.

[13] Control-/ selects all the text in the spinbox.

[14] Control-\ clears any selection in the spinbox.

[15] The F16 key (labelled Copy on many Sun workstations) or

Meta-w copies the selection in the widget to the clip-

board, if there is a selection. [16] The F20 key (labelled Cut on many Sun workstations) or

Control-w copies the selection in the widget to the

clipboard and deletes the selection. If there is no selection in the widget then these keys have no effect. [17] The F18 key (labelled Paste on many Sun workstations)

or Control-y inserts the contents of the clipboard at

the position of the insertion cursor. [18] The Delete key deletes the selection, if there is one

in the spinbox. If there is no selection, it deletes

the character to the right of the insertion cursor.

[19] The BackSpace key and Control-h delete the selection,

if there is one in the spinbox. If there is no selec-

tion, it deletes the character to the left of the insertion cursor.

[20] Control-d deletes the character to the right of the

insertion cursor.

[21] Meta-d deletes the word to the right of the insertion

cursor.

[22] Control-k deletes all the characters to the right of

the insertion cursor.

[23] Control-t reverses the order of the two characters to

the right of the insertion cursor. Tk Last change: 8.4 13

Tk Built-In Commands spinbox(1T)

If the spinbox is disabled using the -state option, then the

spinbox's view can still be adjusted and text in the spinbox

can still be selected, but no insertion cursor will be displayed and no text modifications will take place.

The behavior of spinboxes can be changed by defining new

bindings for individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings. KEYWORDS
