DESCRIPTION

The iwidgets::spintime command creates a set of spinners for use in time value entry. The set includes an hour, minute, and second spinner widget.

METHODS

The iwidgets::spintime 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 spintime 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 iwidgets::spintime 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::spintime command.
pathName get ?format?: Returns the current contents of the spintime widget in a format of string or as an integer clock value using the -string and -clicks format options respectively. The default is by string. Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining time and its formats.
pathName show time: Changes the currently displayed time to be that of the time argument. The time may be specified either as a string, an integer clock value or the keyword "now". Reference the clock command for more information on obtaining times and its format.
