The iwidgets::timefield command creates an enhanced text
entry widget for the purpose of time entry with various degrees of built-in
intelligence.
The iwidgets::timefield 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 timefield 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
iwidgets::timefield 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 iwidgets::timefield command.
- pathName
get ?format?
- Returns the current contents of the timefield in a format of string or as
an integer clock value using the -string and -clicks format
options respectively. The default is by string. Reference the clock
command for more information on obtaining times and their formats.
- pathName
isvalid
- Returns a boolean indication of the validity of the currently displayed
time value. For example, 12:59:59 is valid whereas 25:59:59 is
invalid.
- pathName
show time
- Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the time argument. The
time may be specified either as a string, an integer clock value or the
keyword "now" (the default). Reference the clock command for
more information on obtaining times and their formats.
Name: time
Class: Entry
- The time component provides the entry field for time input and display.

component item.
