## DESCRIPTION

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

The StdButonBox widget is a group of Standard buttons for Motif-like dialog boxes.

## WIDGET COMMAND

The **tixStdButonBox** command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the StdButonBox'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 StdButonBox widget's path name.  *Option* and the *arg*s determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are possible for StdButonBox widgets:

- *pathName* **cget** *option*

  Returns the current value of the configuration option given by *option*. *Option* may have any of the values accepted by the **tixStdButonBox** 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 **tixStdButonBox** 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

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