DESCRIPTION

       The  iwidgets::dateentry  command  creates  a  quicken  style  date  entry field with a popup calendar by
       combining the datefield and calendar widgets together.  This allows a user to  enter  the  date  via  the
       keyboard or by using the mouse and selecting the calendar icon which brings up a popup calendar.

METHODS

       The  iwidgets::dateentry  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 dateentry widgets:

INHERITED METHODS

       get             isvalid        show

       See the "datefield" 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::dateentry 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::dateentry command.
