DESCRIPTION

       The  iwidgets::dialogshell  command  creates  a  dialog  shell which is a top level widget
       composed of a button box, separator, and child site area.  The class also has  methods  to
       control button construction.

METHODS

       The  iwidgets::dialogshell  command create 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 dialogshell widgets:

INHERITED METHODS

       activate        center         deactivate

       See the "shell" manual entry for details on the above inherited methods.

ASSOCIATED METHODS

       add             buttonconfigure                defaultdelete
       hide            index          insert          invoke
       show

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

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 iwidgets::dialogshell command.

       pathName childsite
              Returns the pathname of the child site widget.

       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::dialogshell command.
