WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Name:                   repeatDelay
Class:                  RepeatDelay
Command-Line Switch:	-repeatdelay

Specifies the number of milliseconds a button or key must be held down before it begins to auto-repeat. Used, for example, on the up- and down-arrows in scrollbars.

Name:                   repeatPeriod
Class:                  RepeatPeriod
Command-Line Switch:	-repeatperiod

Used in conjunction with repeatDelay: once auto-repeat begins, this option determines the number of milliseconds between auto-repeats.

DESCRIPTION

The button command creates a button with the ability to auto-repeat when "held down".

METHODS

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

pathName cget option

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the button 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 button command.
