This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: <pre> <I>pathName option </I>?<I>arg arg ...</I>? </pre> <I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for pushbutton widgets: </pre><H2>ASSOCIATED METHODS</H2> <P> <table cellpadding=5> <td valign=top> <B>flash</B><br> </td> <td valign=top> <B>invoke</B><br> </td> <td valign=top> </td> <td valign=top> </td> </table> <P> See the <A HREF="http://www.sco.com/Technology/tcl/man/tk_man/button.n.html"> "button" </A> manual entry for details on the associated methods. </pre><H2>WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS</H2> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName <B>cget</B> <I>option</I> </I></B> <DD> Returns the current value of the configuration option given by <I>option</I>. <I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>pushbutton</B> command. </DL> <DL> <DT> <I>pathName</I> <B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value option value ...</I>? </I></B> <DD> Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for <I>pathName</I> (see <B>Tk_ConfigureInfo</B> for information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I> is specified with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is specified). If one or more <I>option-value</I> 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. <I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>pushbutton</B> command. </DL> </pre><H2>COMPONENTS</H2> <P> <pre> Name: <B>pushbutton</B> Class: <B>Button</B> </pre> <UL> The pushbutton component is the button surrounded by the optional default ring.
