# tixScrolledListBox(3tix)

Create and manipulate Tix ScrolledListBox widgets

## NAME

tixScrolledListBox - Create and manipulate Tix ScrolledListBox widgets

## SYNOPSIS

**tixScrolledListBox** *pathName* ?*options*? -anchor	-background	-cursor -relief	-borderWidth

## WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

\[**-anchor** *anchor Anchor*\] Specifies the alignment of the items inside the listbox subwidget. Only the values **w** and **e** are allowed. When set to **w**, the listbox is automatically aligned to the beginning of the items. When set to **e**, the listbox is automatically aligned to the end of the items.  Automatically alignment only happens when the ScrolledListBox widget changes its size. \[**-browsecmd** *browsecmd BrowseCmd*\] Specifies the command to be called when the user browses the elements inside the **listbox** subwidget (see the BINDINGS section below). \[**-command** *command Command*\] Specifies the command to be called when the user invokes the **listbox** subwidget (see the BINDINGS section below). \[**-height** *height Height*\] Specifies the desired height for the window, in pixels. \[**-scrollbar** *scrollbar Scrollbar*\] Specifies the display policy of the scrollbars. The following values are recognized:

- **auto** ?*+x*? ?*-x*? ?*+y*? ?*-y*?

  When **-scrollbar** is set to "**auto**", the scrollbars are shown only when needed. Additional modifiers can be used to force a scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example, "**auto -y**" means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown when needed but the vertical scrollbar should always be hidden; "**auto +x**" means the vertical scrollbar should be shown when needed but the horizontal scrollbar should always be shown, and so on.

- **both**

  Both scrollbars are shown

- **none**

  The scrollbars are never shown.

- **x**

  Only the horizontal scrollbar is shown;

- **y**

  Only the vertical scrollbar is shown.

\[**-width** *width Width*\] Specifies the desired width for the window, in pixels.

## DESCRIPTION

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

## WIDGET COMMANDS

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

- *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

- \[1\]

  If the **-browsecmd** option is set, the command which it referes to is called whenever a \<ButtonPress-1\> or a \<Motion-1\> event occurrs inside the **listbox** subwidget.

- \[2\]

  The command specified by the **-command** option is invoked when a \<Double-1\> event occurrs inside the **listbox** subwidget.

## BUGS

The capitalization of some of the commands names in Tix 3.x has been changed in Tix 4.0. All commands that ended with **box** have been changed to a capitalized **Box**. Hence, the command **tixScrolledListbox** in Tix 3.x has been changed to **tixScrolledListBox** in Tix 4.0
