WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Command-Line Name:-command
Database Name:command
Database Class:Command

: A script to evaluate when the widget is invoked.

Command-Line Name:-default
Database Name:default
Database Class:Default

May be set to one of normal, active, or disabled. In a dialog box, one button may be designated the ``default'' button (meaning, roughly, ``the one that gets invoked when the user presses <Enter>''). active indicates that this is currently the default button; normal means that it may become the default button, and disabled means that it is not defaultable. The default is normal.

: Depending on the theme, the default button may be displayed with an extra highlight ring, or with a different border color.

Command-Line Name:-width
Database Name:width
Database Class:Width

: If greater than zero, specifies how much space, in character widths, to allocate for the text label. If less than zero, specifies a minimum width. If zero or unspecified, the natural width of the text label is used. Note that some themes may specify a non-zero -width in the style.

WIDGET COMMAND

In addition to the standard cget, configure, identify, instate, and state commands, buttons support the following additional widget commands:

pathName invoke: Invokes the command associated with the button.

STANDARD STYLES

Ttk::button widgets support the Toolbutton style in all standard themes, which is useful for creating widgets for toolbars.

COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS

Command-Line Name:-state
Database Name:state
Database Class:State

: May be set to normal or disabled to control the disabled state bit. This is a ``write-only'' option: setting it changes the widget state, but the state widget command does not affect the state option.
