.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBradiobutton\fR command creates a new window (given by the
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a radiobutton widget.
|
|
Additional
|
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
|
or in the option database
|
|
to configure aspects of the radio button such as its colors, font,
|
|
text, and initial relief. The \fBradiobutton\fR command returns its
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
|
there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but
|
|
\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A radio button is a widget
|
|
.VS
|
|
that displays a textual string or bitmap
|
|
and a diamond called a \fIselector\fR.
|
|
A radio button has
|
|
all of the behavior of a simple button: it can display itself in either
|
|
of three different ways, according to the \fBstate\fR option;
|
|
.VE
|
|
it can be made to appear
|
|
raised, sunken, or flat; it can be made to flash; and it invokes
|
|
a Tcl command whenever mouse button 1 is clicked over the
|
|
check button.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition, radio buttons can be \fIselected\fR.
|
|
If a radio button is selected then a special highlight appears
|
|
in the selector and a Tcl variable associated with the radio button
|
|
is set to a particular value.
|
|
If the radio button is not selected then the selector is drawn
|
|
in a different fashion.
|
|
Typically, several radio buttons share a single variable and the
|
|
value of the variable indicates which radio button is to be selected.
|
|
.VS
|
|
When a radio button is selected it sets the value of the variable to
|
|
indicate that fact; each radio button also monitors the value of
|
|
the variable and automatically selects and deselects itself when the
|
|
variable's value changes.
|
|
.VE
|
|
By default the variable \fBselectedButton\fR
|
|
is used; its contents give the name of the button that is
|
|
selected, or the empty string if no button associated with that
|
|
variable is selected.
|
|
The name of the variable for a radio button,
|
|
plus the variable to be stored into it, may be modified with options
|
|
on the command line or in the option database. By default a radio
|
|
button is configured to select itself on button clicks.
|
|
|
|
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBradiobutton\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
|
name is \fIpathName\fR. This
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
|
.DS C
|
|
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
|
.DE
|
|
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
|
commands are possible for radio-button widgets:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBactivate\fR
|
|
Change the radio button's state to \fBactive\fR and redisplay the button
|
|
using its active foreground and background colors instead of normal
|
|
colors.
|
|
.VS
|
|
This command is ignored if the radio button's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
|
|
This command is obsolete and will eventually be removed;
|
|
use ``\fIpathName \fBconfigure \-state active\fR'' instead.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
|
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
|
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
|
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
|
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
|
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBradiobutton\fR
|
|
command.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBdeactivate\fR
|
|
Change the radio button's state to \fBnormal\fR and redisplay the button
|
|
using its normal foreground and background colors.
|
|
.VS
|
|
This command is ignored if the radio button's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
|
|
This command is obsolete and will eventually be removed;
|
|
use ``\fIpathName \fBconfigure \-state normal\fR'' instead.
|
|
.VE
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBdeselect\fR
|
|
Deselect the radio button: redisplay it without a highlight in
|
|
the selector and set the associated variable to an empty string. If
|
|
this radio button was not currently selected, then the command has
|
|
no effect.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBflash\fR
|
|
Flash the radio button. This is accomplished by redisplaying the radio button
|
|
several times, alternating between active and normal colors. At
|
|
the end of the flash the radio button is left in the same normal/active
|
|
state as when the command was invoked.
|
|
.VS
|
|
This command is ignored if the radio button's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
|
|
.VE
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBinvoke\fR
|
|
.VS
|
|
Does just what would have happened if the user invoked the radio button
|
|
with the mouse: select the button and invoke
|
|
its associated Tcl command, if there is one.
|
|
The return value is the return value from the Tcl command, or an
|
|
empty string if there is no command associated with the radio button.
|
|
This command is ignored if the radio button's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
|
|
.VE
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBselect\fR
|
|
Select the radio button: display it with a highlighted
|
|
selector and set the associated variable to the value corresponding
|
|
to this widget.
|
|
|
|
.SH BINDINGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.VS
|
|
Tk automatically creates class bindings for radio buttons that give them
|
|
the following default behavior:
|
|
.IP [1]
|
|
The radio button activates whenever the mouse passes over it and deactivates
|
|
whenever the mouse leaves the radio button.
|
|
.IP [2]
|
|
The radio button's relief is changed to sunken whenever mouse button 1 is
|
|
pressed over it, and the relief is restored to its original
|
|
value when button 1 is later released.
|
|
.IP [3]
|
|
If mouse button 1 is pressed over the radio button and later released over
|
|
the radio button, the radio button is invoked (i.e. it is selected
|
|
and the command associated with the button is invoked,
|
|
if there is one). However, if the mouse is not
|
|
over the radio button when button 1 is released, then no invocation occurs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The behavior of radio buttons can be changed by defining new bindings for
|
|
individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings.
