## DESCRIPTION

The selectiondialog command creates a selection box similar to the OSF/Motif standard selection dialog composite widget. The selectiondialog is derived from the Dialog class and is composed of a selectionbox with commands to manipulate the dialog buttons.

## METHODS

The selectiondialog 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 selectiondialog widgets:

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 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 selectiondialog command.
