.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
|
||||
.OP \-command command Command
|
||||
Specifies a Tcl command to associate with the button. This command
|
||||
is typically invoked when mouse button 1 is released over the button
|
||||
window. The button's global variable (\fB\-variable\fR option) will
|
||||
be updated before the command is invoked.
|
||||
.OP \-height height Height
|
||||
Specifies a desired height for the button.
|
||||
If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the button then the value is in
|
||||
screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
|
||||
for text it is in lines of text.
|
||||
If this option is not specified, the button's desired height is computed
|
||||
from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.
|
||||
.OP \-indicatoron indicatorOn IndicatorOn
|
||||
Specifies whether or not the indicator should be drawn. Must be a
|
||||
proper boolean value. If false, the \fB\-relief\fR option is
|
||||
ignored and the widget's relief is always sunken if the widget is
|
||||
selected and raised otherwise.
|
||||
.OP \-selectcolor selectColor Background
|
||||
Specifies a background color to use when the button is selected.
|
||||
If \fB\-indicatoron\fR is true then the color applies to the indicator.
|
||||
Under Windows, this color is used as the background for the indicator
|
||||
regardless of the select state.
|
||||
If \fB\-indicatoron\fR is false, this color is used as the background
|
||||
for the entire widget, in place of \fB\-background\fR or \fB\-activeBackground\fR,
|
||||
whenever the widget is selected.
|
||||
If specified as an empty string then no special color is used for
|
||||
displaying when the widget is selected.
|
||||
.OP \-offrelief offRelief OffRelief
|
||||
Specifies the relief for the checkbutton when the indicator is not drawn and
|
||||
the checkbutton is off. The default value is
|
||||
.QW raised .
|
||||
By setting this option to
|
||||
.QW flat
|
||||
and setting \fB\-indicatoron\fR to false and \fB\-overrelief\fR to
|
||||
.QW raised ,
|
||||
the effect is achieved
|
||||
of having a flat button that raises on mouse-over and which is
|
||||
depressed when activated. This is the behavior typically exhibited by
|
||||
the Align-Left, Align-Right, and Center radiobuttons on the toolbar of a
|
||||
word-processor, for example.
|
||||
.OP \-overrelief overRelief OverRelief
|
||||
Specifies an alternative relief for the radiobutton, to be used when the
|
||||
mouse cursor is over the widget. This option can be used to make
|
||||
toolbar buttons, by configuring \fB\-relief flat \-overrelief
|
||||
raised\fR. If the value of this option is the empty string, then no
|
||||
alternative relief is used when the mouse cursor is over the radiobutton.
|
||||
The empty string is the default value.
|
||||
.OP \-selectimage selectImage SelectImage
|
||||
Specifies an image to display (in place of the \fB\-image\fR option)
|
||||
when the radiobutton is selected.
|
||||
This option is ignored unless the \fB\-image\fR option has been
|
||||
specified.
|
||||
.OP \-state state State
|
||||
Specifies one of three states for the radiobutton: \fBnormal\fR, \fBactive\fR,
|
||||
or \fBdisabled\fR. In normal state the radiobutton is displayed using the
|
||||
\fB\-foreground\fR and \fB\-background\fR options. The active state is
|
||||
typically used when the pointer is over the radiobutton. In active state
|
||||
the radiobutton is displayed using the \fB\-activeforeground\fR and
|
||||
\fB\-activebackground\fR options. Disabled state means that the radiobutton
|
||||
should be insensitive: the default bindings will refuse to activate
|
||||
the widget and will ignore mouse button presses.
|
||||
In this state the \fB\-disabledforeground\fR and
|
||||
\fB\-background\fR options determine how the radiobutton is displayed.
|
||||
.OP \-tristateimage tristateImage TristateImage
|
||||
Specifies an image to display (in place of the \fB\-image\fR option)
|
||||
when the radiobutton is selected.
|
||||
This option is ignored unless the \fB\-image\fR option has been
|
||||
specified.
|
||||
.OP \-tristatevalue tristateValue Value
|
||||
Specifies the value that causes the radiobutton to display the multi-value
|
||||
selection, also known as the tri-state mode. Defaults to
|
||||
.QW "" .
|
||||
.OP \-value value Value
|
||||
Specifies value to store in the button's associated variable whenever
|
||||
this button is selected.
|
||||
.OP \-variable variable Variable
|
||||
Specifies the name of a global variable to set whenever this button is
|
||||
selected. Changes in this variable also cause the button to select
|
||||
or deselect itself.
|
||||
Defaults to the value \fBselectedButton\fR.
|
||||
.OP \-width width Width
|
||||
Specifies a desired width for the button.
|
||||
If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the button, the value is in
|
||||
screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
|
||||
for text it is in characters.
|
||||
If this option is not specified, the button's desired width is computed
|
||||
from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.

.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 radiobutton 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 radiobutton is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap or image
|
||||
and a diamond or circle called an \fIindicator\fR.
|
||||
If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it
|
||||
can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines
|
||||
or if wrapping occurs because of the \fB\-wraplength\fR option) and
|
||||
one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the
|
||||
\fB\-underline\fR option. A radiobutton has
|
||||
all of the behavior of a simple button: it can display itself in either
|
||||
of three different ways, according to the \fB\-state\fR option;
|
||||
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, radiobuttons can be \fIselected\fR.
|
||||
If a radiobutton is selected, the indicator is normally
|
||||
drawn with a selected appearance, and
|
||||
a Tcl variable associated with the radiobutton is set to a particular
|
||||
value (normally 1).
|
||||
Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a sunken relief and a special
|
||||
color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn with a round mark inside.
|
||||
If the radiobutton is not selected, then the indicator is drawn with a
|
||||
deselected appearance, and the associated variable is
|
||||
set to a different value (typically 0).
|
||||
The indicator is drawn without a round mark inside.
|
||||
Typically, several radiobuttons share a single variable and the
|
||||
value of the variable indicates which radiobutton is to be selected.
|
||||
When a radiobutton is selected it sets the value of the variable to
|
||||
indicate that fact; each radiobutton also monitors the value of
|
||||
the variable and automatically selects and deselects itself when the
|
||||
variable's value changes.
|
||||
If the variable's value matches the \fB\-tristatevalue\fR, then the radiobutton
|
||||
is drawn using the tri-state mode. This mode is used to indicate mixed or
|
||||
multiple values. (This is used when the radiobutton represents the state
|
||||
of multiple items.)
|
||||
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 radiobutton,
|
||||
plus the variable to be stored into it, may be modified with options
|
||||
on the command line or in the option database.
|
||||
Configuration options may also be used to modify the way the
|
||||
indicator is displayed (or whether it is displayed at all).
|
||||
By default a radiobutton 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:
|
||||
.CS
|
||||
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
||||
.CE
|
||||
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
||||
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
||||
commands are possible for radiobutton widgets:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
||||
by \fIoption\fR.
|
||||
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBradiobutton\fR
|
||||
command.
|
||||
.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, 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, 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 \fBdeselect\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Deselects the radiobutton and sets the associated variable to an
|
||||
empty string.
|
||||
If this radiobutton was not currently selected, the command has
|
||||
no effect.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBflash\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Flashes the radiobutton. This is accomplished by redisplaying the radiobutton
|
||||
several times, alternating between active and normal colors. At
|
||||
the end of the flash the radiobutton is left in the same normal/active
|
||||
state as when the command was invoked.
|
||||
This command is ignored if the radiobutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBinvoke\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Does just what would have happened if the user invoked the radiobutton
|
||||
with the mouse: selects the button and invokes
|
||||
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 radiobutton.
|
||||
This command is ignored if the radiobutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fIpathName \fBselect\fR
|
||||
.
|
||||
Selects the radiobutton and sets the associated variable to the
|
||||
value corresponding to this widget.
|
||||
.SH BINDINGS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Tk automatically creates class bindings for radiobuttons that give them
|
||||
the following default behavior:
|
||||
.IP [1]
|
||||
On Unix systems, a radiobutton activates whenever the mouse passes
|
||||
over it and deactivates whenever the mouse leaves the radiobutton. On
|
||||
Mac and Windows systems, when mouse button 1 is pressed over a
|
||||
radiobutton, the button activates whenever the mouse pointer is inside
|
||||
the button, and deactivates whenever the mouse pointer leaves the
|
||||
button.
|
||||
.IP [2]
|
||||
When mouse button 1 is pressed over a radiobutton it is invoked (it
|
||||
becomes selected and the command associated with the button is
|
||||
invoked, if there is one).
|
||||
.IP [3]
|
||||
When a radiobutton has the input focus, the space key causes the radiobutton
|
||||
to be invoked.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
If the radiobutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR then none of the above
|
||||
actions occur: the radiobutton is completely non-responsive.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The behavior of radiobuttons can be changed by defining new bindings for
|
||||
individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings.
