DESCRIPTION
       The tixLabelEntry command creates a new window  (given  by
       the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelEntry wid-
       get. 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 win-
       dow. 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 path-
              Name (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information  on  the
              format  of this list).  If option is specified with
              no value, then the command returns a list  describ-
              ing the one named option (this list will be identi-
              cal 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.
