       options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

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

       proc SelectDir {dir} {
           puts "You have selected \"$dir\"" }
