_________________________________________________________________

The iwidgets::extfileselectiondialog command creates an extended

file selection dialog which is slightly different than the files- electiondialog widget. The differences are mostly cosmetic in that the listboxes are within a panedwindow and the entryfields for the filter and selection have been replaced by comboboxes.

Other than that the interface is practically the same.

The iwidgets::extfileselectiondialog command creates a new Tcl

command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to in- voke various operations on the widget. It has the following gen- eral form:

Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.

The following commands are possible for extfileselectiondialog

widgets:

get
childsite filter

See the fileselectionbox class manual entry for details on the

associated methods.
add buttonconfigure defaulthide insert invoke show

See the buttonbox widget manual entry for details on the above

inherited methods.
activate center deactivate

See the shell widget manual entry for details on the above in-

herited methods.

pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configura- tion option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwidgets::extfileselectiondialog command. path-

Name configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify

the configuration options of the widget. If no option is speci- fied, 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 com- mand returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value re- turned 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 ac- cepted by the iwidgets::extfileselectiondialog command.
