________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  ttk::entrybox  widget  is  an  extension of the regular ttk::entry widget. It can be used wherever a
       ttk::entry is currently used, without any other changes to the code.

       The difference between the ttk::entrybox widget and the ttk::entry widget is in the interaction with  the
       user.  An  empty  ttk::entrybox  looks  just  like  a  ttk::entry. However, when there is any text in the
       ttk::entrybox, an icon appears on the right-hand side of the widget.  The user can  click  this  icon  to
       erase the text.

WIDGET COMMAND

       A  ttk::entrybox  widget  supports the same subcommands as a ttk::entry. As a convenience, one additional
       subcommand is available:

       pathName set value
              Directly set the value of the ttk::entrybox to value, replacing any existing text.

DEFAULT BINDINGS

       The ttk::entrybox has  one  additional  key  binding,  Control-u,  that  also  erases  all  text  in  the
       ttk::entrybox.
