# Tkx::LabEntry(3pm)

Labeled entry widget

## NAME

Tkx::LabEntry - Labeled entry widget

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Tkx;
  use Tkx::LabEntry;
  my $mw = Tkx::widget->new(".");
  my $e = $mw->new_tkx_LabEntry(-label => "Name");
  $e->g_pack;
  my $b = $mw->new_button(
      -text => "Done",
      -command => sub {
          print $e->get, "\n";
          $mw->g_destroy;
      },
  );
  $b->g_pack;
  Tkx::MainLoop();
```

## DESCRIPTION

The `"Tkx::LabEntry"` module implements a trivial megawidget.  Its main purpose is to demonstrate how to use the `"Tkx::MegaConfig"` baseclass.

Once the `"Tkx::LabEntry"` module has been loaded, then its widgets can be constructed in the normal way using the `"tkx_LabEntry"` name. Besides having a label (whose text can be accessed with the `"-label"` configuration option), these widgets behave exactly like an `"entry"` would.
