DESCRIPTION

       The  tixButtonBox  command  creates  a  new  window  (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a
       ButtonBox widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command  line  or  in  the
       option database to configure aspects of the ButtonBox such as its cursor and relief.

       The ButtonBox widget can be used as a container widget to hold the ``action'' buttons in a dialog box.

WIDGET COMMAND

       The  tixButtonBox  command  creates  a  new  Tcl  command  whose name is the same as the path name of the
       ButtonBox's window. This command may be used to invoke various operations  on  the  widget.  It  has  the
       following general form:
              pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       PathName  is  the name of the command, which is the same as the ButtonBox widget's path name.  Option and
       the args determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are possible for  ButtonBox
       widgets:

       pathName add buttonName ?option value ...?
              Add  a  new  button  subwidget  with  the  name  buttonName  into the ButtonBox widget. Additional
              configuration options can be given to configure the new button subwidget.

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

       pathName invoke buttonName
              Invoke the button subwidget with the name buttonName.

       pathName subwidget  name ?args?
              When  no  additional  arguments  are given, returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified
              name.

              When no additional arguments are given, the widget command of  the  specified  subwidget  will  be
              called with these parameters.

BINDINGS

       TixButtonBox widgets have no default bindings. The button subwidgets retain their default Tk bindings.
