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       filter and selection have been replaced by comboboxes.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.
