NAME

Tk::FileEntry - FileEntry widget with optional file selection box

SYNOPSIS

    use Tk::FileEntry;

    $fileentry = $parent->FileEntry(
                                -filebitmap     => BITMAP,
                                -command        => CALLBACK,
                                -variable       => SCALARREF,
                                );

DESCRIPTION

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Option: -filebitmap
Name: fileBitmap
Class: FileBitmap

Specifies the bitmap to be used for the button that invokes the File Dialog.

-command

...

-variable

...

BUGS

If FileEntry is resized to a value smaller than at creation time the Openfile Bitmap vanishes.

FileSelection of alpha release Tk800.003 does not work (my fault!). So FileEntrys FileSelction dialog will not work with this release.
