# tixInputOnly(3tix)

Create and manipulate TIX InputOnly widgets

## NAME

tixInputOnly - Create and manipulate TIX **InputOnly** widgets

## SYNOPSIS

**tixInputOnly** *pathName* ?*options*? -cursor -width	-height

## WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

**TixInputOnly** does not have any widget specific options.

## DESCRIPTION

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

**TixInputOnly** widgets are not visible to the user. The only purpose of **TixInputOnly** widgets are to accept inputs from the user, which can be done with the **bind** command.

## WIDGET COMMAND

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

## BINDINGS

**tixInputOnly** widgets have no default bindings.

## BUGS

**tixInputOnly** is currently implemented for the Unix version of Tix only.
