</pre><H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
The <B>selectionbox</B> command creates a scrolled list of items and
a selection entry field. The user may choose any of the items displayed
in the scrolled list of alternatives and the selection field will be
filled with the choice. The user is also free to enter a new value in
the selection entry field. Both the list and entry areas have labels.
A child site is also provided in which the user may create other widgets
to be used in conjunction with the selection box.
</pre><H2>METHODS</H2>
<P>
The <B>selectionbox</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is <I>pathName</I>. 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.

</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>selectionbox</B>
command.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>childsite</B>
</I></B>
<DD> Returns the child site widget path name.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>clear</B> <I>component</I>
</I></B>
<DD> Delete the contents of either the selection entry widget or
items list. The <I>component</I> argument may be either <B>items</B>
or <B>selection</B>.
</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>selectionbox</B>
command.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>get</B>

or <B>selection</B>. The <I>args</I> follow the rules of either an entry
or list widget depending on the <I>component</I> value.
</DL>
<DL>
<DT> <I>pathName <B>selectitem</B>
</I></B>
