DESCRIPTION
       The tixLabelEntry command creates a new window (given by the pathName
       argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry widget. Additional options,
       described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
       database to configure aspects of the LabelEntry such as its cursor and
       relief.

       The LabelEntry widget packages an entry widget and a label into one
       mega widget. It can be used be used to simplify the creation of "entry-
       form" type of interface. In this kind of interface, one must create
       many entry widgets with label widgets next to them and describe the use
       of each of the entry widgets.

WIDGET COMMANDS
       The tixLabelEntry command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
       same as the path name of the LabelEntry'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
       LabelEntry widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
       behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for
       LabelEntry 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
              tixLabelEntry 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
              tixLabelEntry command.

       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.
