______________________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The iwidgets::timefield command creates an enhanced text entry widget
for the purpose of time entry with various degrees of built-in intelli‐
gence.
METHODS
The iwidgets::timefield 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
...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for timefield widgets:
WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid‐
gets::timefield 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 avail‐
able options for pathName (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::timefield command.
pathName get ?format?
Returns the current contents of the timefield in a format of
string or as an integer clock value using the -string and
-clicks format options respectively. The default is by string.
Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining
times and their formats.
pathName isvalid
Returns a boolean indication of the validity of the currently
displayed time value. For example, 12:59:59 is valid whereas
25:59:59 is invalid.
pathName show time
Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the time
argument. The time may be specified either as a string, an
integer clock value or the keyword "now" (the default). Refer‐
ence the clock command for more information on obtaining times
and their formats.
COMPONENTS
