Name:	grab
Class:	Grab
Command-Line Switch:	-grab



  

  
Specifies the grab level, local or global, to be obtained
      before bringing up the popup calendar. The default is global. For more
      information concerning grab levels, consult the documentation for Tk's
      grab command.






Name:	icon
Class:	Icon
Command-Line Switch:	-icon



  

  
Specifies the calendar icon image to be used in the dateentry. This image
      must have been created previously with the image create command.
      Should one not be provided, then one will be generated, pixmap if
      possible, bitmap otherwise.
















The iwidgets::dateentry command creates a quicken style
    date entry field with a popup calendar by combining the datefield and
    calendar widgets together. This allows a user to enter the date via the
    keyboard or by using the mouse and selecting the calendar icon which brings
    up a popup calendar.
  














The iwidgets::dateentry 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 dateentry widgets:








get	isvalid	show


See the "datefield" manual entry for details on the
    associated methods.









  

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