DESCRIPTION
The disjointlistbox command creates a disjoint pair of listboxs similar
to the OSF/Motif "Book" printing dialog of the "FrameMaker" program.
It is implementation constists of a two Scrolledlistboxs, 2 buttons,
and 2 labels.
The disjoint behavior of this widget exists between the interaction of
the two Scrolledlistboxes with one another. That is, a given instance
of a Disjointlistbox will never exist, without the aid of a hack magi-
cian, which has Scrolledlistbox widgets with items in common. That
means the relationship between the two is maintained similar to that of
disjoint sets.
Users may transfer items between the two Listbox widgets using the the
two buttons.
Options exists which include the ability to configure the "items" dis-
played by the 2 Scrolledlistboxes and to control the placement of the
insertion and removal buttons.
METHODS
The disjointlistbox 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 disjointlistbox widgets:
WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the dis-
jointlistbox 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 avail-
able 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 disjointlistbox command.
pathName setlhs
Set the current contents of the left-most Scrolledlistbox with
the input list of items. Removes all (if any) items from the
right-most Scrolledlistbox which exist in the input list option
to maintain the disjoint property between the two
pathName setrhs
Set the current contents of the right-most Scrolledlistbox with
the input list of items. Removes all (if any) items from the
left-most Scrolledlistbox which exist in the input list option
to maintain the disjoint property between the two
pathName getlhs
Returns the current contents of the left-most Scrolledlistbox
pathName getrhs
Returns the current contents of the right-most Scrolledlistbox
pathName insertlhs
Add the input list of items to the current contents of the left-
most Scrolledlistbox. Removes all (if any) items from the
right-most Scrolledlistbox which exist in the input list option
to maintain the disjoint property between the two
pathName insertrhs
Add the input list of items to the current contents of the
right-most Scrolledlistbox. Removes all (if any) items from the
left-most Scrolledlistbox which exist in the input list option
to maintain the disjoint property between the two.
COMPONENTS
Name: lhs
Class: Scrolledlistbox
The lhs component is the scrolledlistbox for the rhs button.
See the "scrolledlistbox" widget manual entry for details on the
lhs component item.
Name: rhs
Class: Scrolledlistbox
The rhs component is the scrolledlistbox for the rhs button.
See the "scrolledlistbox" widget manual entry for details on the
rhs component item.
Name: lhsbutton
Class: utton
The lhsbutton component is the button for users to remove
selected items from the lhs Scrolledlistbox. See the "button"
widget manual entry for details on the lhs button component.
Name: rhsbutton
Class: Button
The rhsbutton component is the button for users to remove
selected items from the rhs Scrolledlistbox. See the "button"
widget manual entry for details on the rhs button component.
Name: lhsCount
Class: Label
The lhsCount component is the label for displaying a count of
the current items in the Scrolledlistbox. See the "Label" wid-
get manual entry for details on the lhsCount label component.
Name: rhsCount
Class: Label
The rhsCount component is the label for displaying a count of
the current items in the Scrolledlistbox. See the "Label" wid-
get manual entry for details on the rhsCount label component.
