SYNOPSIS¶
tk_optionMenu pathName varName value ?
value value ...?
DESCRIPTION¶
This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is
pathName, plus
an associated menu. Together they allow the user to select one of the values
given by the
value arguments. The current value will be stored in the
global variable whose name is given by
varName and it will also be
displayed as the label in the option menubutton. The user can click on the
menubutton to display a menu containing all of the
values and thereby
select a new value. Once a new value is selected, it will be stored in the
variable and appear in the option menubutton. The current value can also be
changed by setting the variable.
The return value from
tk_optionMenu is the name of the menu associated
with
pathName, so that the caller can change its configuration options
or manipulate it in other ways.
