Widgets in the initial Tk package

• button (standard button widget)

• checkbutton (standard checkbox widget)

• radiobutton (radio button - a group of these can have one selected at a time)

• menubutton (one button storing a menu) slebetman A menubutton is what Windows developers call combobox. Unfortunately, on Windows, menubutton does not look like a proper combobox so users will usually be confused by the menubutton . On other operating systems like SunOS and the Mac, the menubutton is exactly what the user expects.

• label (a text string)

• labelframe (a frame wrapped in a border, with a label at the top)

• message (a variation on the theme of labels; uncommon)

• frame (a container for other widgets, but doesn't display anything itself)

• toplevel (a container that doesn't live inside another widget, i.e. the window itself)

• panedwindow (a container for widgets that lets the user proportion space between them.)

• menu (accesses the real , OS menu on some platforms)

• scale (for adjusting numeric values)

• scrollbar (for adjusting scrollable widgets)

• listbox (selection from a list)

• entry (Single-line text entry)

• spinbox (Numeric entry widget.) MG The spinbox can also be used for non-numerical items. If you give it a list of strings, it'll scroll through them all.

• text (Multi-line text entry, with text tagging, embeddable images, and more.)

• canvas (A drawing surface for vector-based graphics, raster images, and so on.)

• tk_optionMenu

• tk_dialog

• tk_messageBox
