DESCRIPTION

The extbutton extends the behavior of the atomic Tk button by allowing text and an image or bitmap to coexist. The user may use the -image or -bitmap options to specify an image as well as the -imagepos option to specify image position relative to the text. Note that the extbutton is not intended to be used without an image/bitmap. There will be an emtpy space next to the text if no image/bitmap is specified.

METHODS

The iwidgets::extbutton command creates a new Tcl command 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 ...?

INHERITED METHODS

Each of the following methods are inherited from itk::Archetype. See that man page for details.

pathName cget
pathName component
pathName config
pathName configure

pathName invoke: Evaluates the command fragment associated with the -command option.
pathName flash: Simulates the Tk button's flash command.

EXAMPLES

package require Iwidgets 4.0
iwidgets::extbutton .eb -text "Bitmap example" -bitmap info \


  -background bisque -activeforeground red -bitmapforeground blue \


  -defaultring 1 -command {puts "Bisque is beautiful"}
pack .eb -expand 1
iwidgets::extbutton .eb -text "Image example" -relief ridge -image \


  [image create photo -file $itk::library/../iwidgets/demos/images/clear.gif] \


  -font 9x15bold -background lightgreen -imagepos e \
