Name:   command
Class:  Command
Command-Line Switch:    -command



  

  
Specifies a Tcl command procedure to be evaluated following a change in
      the current check box selection.






Name:   orient
Class:  Orient
Command-Line Switch:    -orient
Default Value:  vertical



  

  
Specifies the orientation of the checkbuttons within the checkbox. Valid
      values are either "horizontal" or "vertical".
















The iwidgets::checkbox command creates a check button box
    widget capable of adding, inserting, deleting, selecting, and configuring
    checkbuttons as well as obtaining the currently selected button.










The iwidgets::checkbox 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 checkbox take as one
    argument an indicator of which checkbutton of the checkbox to operate on.
    These indicators are called indexes and allow reference and
    manipulation of checkbuttons. Checkbox indexes may be specified in any of
    the following forms:



  

  
Specifies the checkbutton numerically, where 0 corresponds to the top
      checkbutton of the checkbox.

  

  
Indicates the last checkbutton of the checkbox.

  

  
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
      checkbutton in the checkbox, in order from top to bottom, until a matching
      entry is found. The rules of Tcl_StringMatch are used.
    

  











  

  
Adds a new checkbutton to the checkbuttond window on the bottom. The
      command takes additional options which are passed on to the checkbutton as
      construction arguments. These include the standard Tk checkbutton options.
      The tag is returned.

  

  
This command is similar to the configure command, except that it
      applies to the options for an individual checkbutton, whereas
      configureapplies to the options for the checkbox as a whole.
      Options may have any of the values accepted by the add
      widget 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::checkbox 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::checkbox command.

  

  
Deletes a specified checkbutton given an index.

  

  
Deselects a specified checkbutton given an index.

  

  
Flashes a specified checkbutton given an index.

  

  
Returns the tags of the currently selected checkbuttons or the selection
      status of specific checkbutton when given an index.

  

  
Returns the numerical index corresponding to index.

  

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

  

  
Selects a specified checkbutton given an index.
