Together they provide the functionality of Motif option menus: # they can be used to select one of many values, and the current value # appears in the global variable varName, as well as in the text of # the option menubutton. The name of the menu is returned as the # procedure's result, so that the caller can use it to change configuration # options on the menu or otherwise manipulate it. # # Arguments: # w - The name to use for the menubutton. # varName - Global variable to hold the currently selected value. # firstValue - First of legal values for option (must be >= 1). # args - Any number of additional values. proc tk_optionMenu {w varName firstValue args} { upvar #0 $varName var if ![info exists var] { set var $firstValue } menubutton $w -textvariable $varName -indicatoron 1 -menu $w.menu menu $w.menu -tearoff 0 $w.menu add command -label $firstValue \ -command [list set $varName $firstValue] foreach i $args { $w.menu add command -label $i -command [list set $varName $i] } return $w.menu }
