Class:	Orient
Command-Line Switch:	-orient



  

  
Orientation of the button box: horizontal or vertical. The
      default is horizontal.






Name:	padX
Class:	PadX
Command-Line Switch:	-padx



  

  
Specifies a non-negative padding distance to leave between the button
      group and the outer edge of the button box in the x direction. The value
      may be given in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. The
      default is 5 pixels.






Name:	padY
Class:	PadY
Command-Line Switch:	-pady



  

  
Specifies a non-negative padding distance to leave between the button
      group and the outer edge of the button box in the y direction. The value
      may be given in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. The
      default is 5 pixels.
















The iwidgets::buttonbox command creates a manager widget
    for controlling buttons. The button box also supports the display and
    invocation of a default button. The button box can be configured either
    horizontally or vertically.










The iwidgets::buttonbox 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.


Many of the widget commands for the buttonbox take as one argument
    an indicator of which button of the button box to operate on. These
    indicators are called indexes and allow reference and manipulation of
    buttons regardless of their current map state. buttonbox indexes may be
    specified in any of the following forms:



  

  
Specifies the button numerically, where 0 corresponds to the left/top-most
      button of the button box.

  

  
Indicates the right/bottom-most button of the button box.

  

  
Indicates the current default button of the button box. This is the button
      with the default ring displayed.

  

  
If the index doesn't satisfy one of the above forms then this form is
      used. Pattern is pattern-matched against the tag of each button in
      the button box, in order from left/top to right/left, until a matching
      entry is found. The rules of Tcl_StringMatch are used.
    

  











  

  
Add a button distinguished by tag to the end of the button box. If
      additional arguments are present they specify options to be applied to the
      button. See PushButton for information on the options
    available.

  

  
This command is similar to the configure command, except that it
      applies to the options for an individual button, whereas configure
      applies to the options for the button box as a whole. Options may
      have any of the values accepted by the PushButton command. If
      options are specified, options are modified as indicated in the
      command and the command returns an empty string. If no options are
      specified, returns a list describing the current options for entry
      index (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of
      this list).

  

  
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      iwidgets::buttonbox command.

  

  
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 iwidgets::buttonbox command.

  

  
Sets the default button to the button given by index. This causes
      the default ring to appear arround the specified button.

  

  
Deletes the button given by index from the button box.

  

  
Hides the button denoted by index. This doesn't remove the button
      permanently, just inhibits its display.

  

  
Returns the numerical index corresponding to index.

  

  
Same as the add command except that it inserts the new button just
      before the one given by index, instead of appending to the end of
      the button box. The option, and value arguments have the
      same interpretation as for the add widget command.

  

  
Invoke the command associated with a button. If no arguments are given
      then the current default button is invoked, otherwise the argument is
      expected to be a button index.

  

  
Display a previously hidden button denoted by index.
