✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tixLabelEntry pathName ?options?

👑 SUPER-CLASS 👑

The TixLabelEntry class is derived from the TixLabelWidget class, and it inherits all the commands, options and subwidgets of its super-class. family tree slay, no cap. 🌈

🎀 STANDARD OPTIONS 🎀

🦋 WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🦋

these are the extra-special LabelEntry options, bestie:

• -disableforeground, disableForeground — the foreground color to use for the entry subwidget when the LabelEntry widget is disabled. 💀 disabled-era color moment.
• -label, label — specifies the string to display as the label of this LabelEntry widget. icon behavior, frankly. 🎀
• -labelside, labelSide — specifies where the label should be displayed relative to the entry subwidget. Valid options are: top, left, right, bottom, none or acrosstop. pick your placement era. 🦋

• Name: entry — Class: Entry — the entry subwidget. main character energy, obviously. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The tixLabelEntry command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the LabelEntry such as its cursor and relief. yes bestie, command line or option database, both are valid entrances. ✨

The LabelEntry widget packages an entry widget and a label into one mega widget. It can be used to simplify the creation of "entry-form" type of interface. In this kind of interface, one must create many entry widgets with label widgets next to them and describe the use of each of the entry widgets. it’s giving “forms but make it less chaotic,” and honestly? obsessed. 💖

🛠️ WIDGET COMMANDS 🛠️

The tixLabelEntry command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the LabelEntry’s window. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:

pathName option ?arg arg ...?

PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the LabelEntry widget’s path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for LabelEntry widgets:

💅 pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixLabelEntry command. cget is literally the “what’s your current setting, bestie?” 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 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 tixLabelEntry command. configure is the full glow-up command: query it, poke it, change it. no cap. 💅

💅 pathName subwidget name ?args?

When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.

When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these options. it’s giving “go talk to the subwidget directly,” and honestly? iconic. 🦋
