|
is typically invoked when mouse button 1 is released over the button
|

screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to <B><A HREF="../TclLib/GetPixels.htm">Tk_GetPixels</A></B>);
|
||
|
|
for text it is in lines of text.
|

If <B>indicatorOn</B> is true then the color applies to the indicator.
|

|
Under Windows, this color is used as the background for the indicator
|
||
|
|
regardless of the select state.
|
||
|
|
If <B>indicatorOn</B> is false, this color is used as the background
|
||
|
|
for the entire widget, in place of <B>background</B> or <B>activeBackground</B>,
|
||
|
|
whenever the widget is selected.
|
||
|

If specified as an empty string then no special color is used for

<DD>Specifies one of three states for the radiobutton: <B>normal</B>, <B>active</B>,
|
||
|
|
or <B>disabled</B>. In normal state the radiobutton is displayed using the
|
||
|
|
<B>foreground</B> and <B>background</B> options. The active state is
|
||
|
|
typically used when the pointer is over the radiobutton. In active state
|
||
|
|
the radiobutton is displayed using the <B>activeForeground</B> and
|
||
|
|
<B>activeBackground</B> options. Disabled state means that the radiobutton
|
||
|
|
should be insensitive: the default bindings will refuse to activate
|
||
|
|
the widget and will ignore mouse button presses.
|
||
|
|
In this state the <B>disabledForeground</B> and

screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to <B><A HREF="../TclLib/GetPixels.htm">Tk_GetPixels</A></B>);
|

<H3><A NAME="M15">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The <B>radiobutton</B> command creates a new window (given by the
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I> argument) and makes it into a radiobutton widget.
|
||
|
|
Additional
|
||
|
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
||
|
|
or in the option database
|
||
|
|
to configure aspects of the radiobutton such as its colors, font,
|
||
|
|
text, and initial relief. The <B>radiobutton</B> command returns its
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I> argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
||
|
|
there must not exist a window named <I>pathName</I>, but
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I>'s parent must exist.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
A radiobutton is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap or image
|
||
|
|
and a diamond or circle called an <I>indicator</I>.
|
||
|
|
If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it
|
||
|
|
can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines
|
||
|
|
or if wrapping occurs because of the <B>wrapLength</B> option) and
|
||
|
|
one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the
|
||
|
|
<B>underline</B> option. A radiobutton has
|
||
|
|
all of the behavior of a simple button: it can display itself in either
|
||
|
|
of three different ways, according to the <B>state</B> option;
|
||
|
|
it can be made to appear
|
||
|
|
raised, sunken, or flat; it can be made to flash; and it invokes
|
||
|
|
a Tcl command whenever mouse button 1 is clicked over the
|
||
|
|
check button.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
In addition, radiobuttons can be <I>selected</I>.
|
||
|
|
If a radiobutton is selected, the indicator is normally
|
||
|
|
drawn with a selected appearance, and
|
||
|
|
a Tcl variable associated with the radiobutton is set to a particular
|
||
|
|
value (normally 1).
|
||
|
|
Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a sunken relief and a special
|
||
|
|
color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn with a round mark inside.
|
||
|
|
If the radiobutton is not selected, then the indicator is drawn with a
|
||
|
|
deselected appearance, and the associated variable is
|
||
|
|
set to a different value (typically 0).
|
||
|
|
Under Unix, the indicator is drawn with a raised relief and no special
|
||
|
|
color. Under Windows, the indicator is drawn without a round mark inside.
|
||
|
|
Typically, several radiobuttons share a single variable and the
|
||
|
|
value of the variable indicates which radiobutton is to be selected.
|
||
|
|
When a radiobutton is selected it sets the value of the variable to
|
||
|
|
indicate that fact; each radiobutton also monitors the value of
|
||
|
|
the variable and automatically selects and deselects itself when the
|
||
|
|
variable's value changes.
|
||
|
|
By default the variable <B>selectedButton</B>
|
||
|
|
is used; its contents give the name of the button that is
|
||
|
|
selected, or the empty string if no button associated with that
|
||
|
|
variable is selected.
|
||
|
|
The name of the variable for a radiobutton,
|
||
|
|
plus the variable to be stored into it, may be modified with options
|
||
|
|
on the command line or in the option database.
|
||
|
|
Configuration options may also be used to modify the way the
|
||
|
|
indicator is displayed (or whether it is displayed at all).
|
||
|
|
By default a radiobutton is configured to select itself on button clicks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3><A NAME="M16">WIDGET COMMAND</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The <B>radiobutton</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
||
|
|
name is <I>pathName</I>. This
|
||
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
||
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
||
|
|
<PRE><I>pathName option </I>?<I>arg arg ...</I>?</PRE>
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s
|
||
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
||
|
|
commands are possible for radiobutton widgets:
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
<DL>
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M17"><I>pathName </I><B>cget</B> <I>option</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
||
|
|
by <I>option</I>.
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>radiobutton</B>
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M18"><I>pathName </I><B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value option value ...</I>?</A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
||
|
|
If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
||
|
|
the available options for <I>pathName</I> (see <B><A HREF="../TclLib/ConfigWidg.htm">Tk_ConfigureInfo</A></B> for
|
||
|
|
information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I> is specified
|
||
|
|
with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is specified). If
|
||
|
|
one or more <I>option-value</I> pairs are specified, the command
|
||
|
|
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
|
||
|
|
this case the command returns an empty string.
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>radiobutton</B>

command.

Deselects the radiobutton and sets the associated variable to an
|
||
|
|
empty string.
|

If this radiobutton was not currently selected, the command has
|

|
|
no effect.

Flashes the radiobutton. This is accomplished by redisplaying the radiobutton
|
||
|
|
several times, alternating between active and normal colors. At
|
||
|
|
the end of the flash the radiobutton is left in the same normal/active
|
||
|
|
state as when the command was invoked.
|
||
|
|
This command is ignored if the radiobutton's state is <B>disabled</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M21"><I>pathName </I><B>invoke</B></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Does just what would have happened if the user invoked the radiobutton
|
||
|
|
with the mouse: selects the button and invokes
|
||
|
|
its associated Tcl command, if there is one.
|
||
|
|
The return value is the return value from the Tcl command, or an
|
||
|
|
empty string if there is no command associated with the radiobutton.
|
||
|
|
This command is ignored if the radiobutton's state is <B>disabled</B>.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M22"><I>pathName </I><B>select</B></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Selects the radiobutton and sets the associated variable to the
|
||
|
|
value corresponding to this widget.

Tk automatically creates class bindings for radiobuttons that give them
|
||
|
|
the following default behavior:

On Unix systems, a radiobutton activates whenever the mouse passes
|
||
|
|
over it and deactivates whenever the mouse leaves the radiobutton. On
|
||
|
|
Mac and Windows systems, when mouse button 1 is pressed over a
|
||
|
|
radiobutton, the button activates whenever the mouse pointer is inside
|
||
|
|
the button, and deactivates whenever the mouse pointer leaves the
|
||
|
|
button.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT>[2]<DD>
|
||
|
|
When mouse button 1 is pressed over a radiobutton it is invoked (it
|
||
|
|
becomes selected and the command associated with the button is
|
||
|
|
invoked, if there is one).
|
||
|
|
<P><DT>[3]<DD>
|
||
|
|
When a radiobutton has the input focus, the space key causes the radiobutton
|
||
|
|
to be invoked.
|
||
|
|
<P></DL>
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
If the radiobutton's state is <B>disabled</B> then none of the above
|
||
|
|
actions occur: the radiobutton is completely non-responsive.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
The behavior of radiobuttons can be changed by defining new bindings for
|
||
|
|
individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings.
