DESCRIPTION
The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new window (given
by the pathName argument) and makes it into a

database to configure aspects of the DirSelectDialog such as
its cursor and relief.
The DirSelectDialog widget presents the directories in the

file system in a dialog window. The user can use this dialog
window to navigate through the file system to select the
desired directory.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new Tcl command
whose name is the same as the path name of the
DirSelectDialog'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 DirSelectDialog widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
commands are possible for DirSelectDialog 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 tixDirSelectDialog 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
tixDirSelectDialog command.
pathName popup
Pops up the DirSelectDialog widget on the screen.
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.
