DESCRIPTION

       The iwidgets::extfileselectiondialog command creates an extended file selection dialog which is  slightly
       different than the fileselectiondialog widget.  The differences are mostly cosmetic in that the listboxes
       are within a panedwindow and the  entryfields  for  the  filter  and  selection  have  been  replaced  by
       comboboxes.  Other than that the interface is practically the same.

METHODS

       The  iwidgets::extfileselectiondialog  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 extfileselectiondialog widgets:

ASSOCIATED METHODS

       get             childsite      filter

       See the "fileselectionbox" class manual entry for details on the associated methods.

INHERITED METHODS

       add             buttonconfigure                defaulthide
       insert          invoke         show

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

       activate        center         deactivate

       See the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited 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::extfileselectiondialog 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::extfileselectiondialog command.
