_________________________________________________________________

The iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command creates a file selec-

tion dialog similar to the OSF/Motif standard composite widget.

The fileselectiondialog is derived from the Dialog class and is

composed of a FileSelectionBox with attributes set to manipulate the dialog buttons.

The iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command creates a new Tcl com-

mand whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:

pathName option ?arg arg ...?

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

The following commands are possible for fileselectiondialog wid-

gets:

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::fileselectiondialog 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 path-

Name (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 iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command.

The fsb component is the file selection box for the file selec-

tion dialog. See the fileselectionbox widget manual entry for details on the fsb component item.
