DESCRIPTION

This is the tcl binding to the Motif SelectionBox widget and the SelectionBox Dialog convenience functions.

CHILDREN

SelectionBox has a number of children, which may or may not exist, depending on the type of selection box. They have names

: Apply

Note that this makes the XmSelectionBoxGetChild function redundant.

Each child has methods appropriate to its type. For example, the ItemsList widget is currently a List widget and so has methods ``selectPosition'', etc. Note that OSF warn against assuming a particular type for any child widget, so you should check the class before using a widget-specific method.
