DESCRIPTION

       The tixDirSelectDialog command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into  a
       DirSelectDialog  widget.  Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in
       the option database to configure aspects of the DirSelectDialog such as its cursor and relief.

       The DirSelectDialog widget presents the directories in the file system in a dialog window. The  user  can
       use this dialog window to navigate through the file system to select the desired directory.

WIDGET COMMANDS

       The  tixDirSelectDialog  command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the
       DirSelectDialog's window.  This command may be used to invoke various operations on the  widget.  It  has
       the following general form:
              pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       PathName  is the name of the command, which is the same as the DirSelectDialog widget's path name. Option
       and the args determine the exact behavior of  the  command.  The  following  commands  are  possible  for
       DirSelectDialog widgets:

       pathName cget option
              Returns  the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the tixDirSelectDialog 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
              tixDirSelectDialog command.

       pathName popup
              Pops up the DirSelectDialog widget on the screen.

       pathName subwidget  name ?args?
              When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the  subwidget  of  the  specified
              name.

              When  options  are  given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these
              options.

EXAMPLE

       set dlg [tixDirSelectDialog .dlg -command SelectDir] $dlg popup
