174for text it is in lines of text.

207.PD
208Specifies one of three states for the menubutton: \fBnormal\fR, \fBactive\fR,
209or \fBdisabled\fR. In normal state the menubutton is displayed using the
210\&\fBforeground\fR and \fBbackground\fR options. The active state is
211typically used when the pointer is over the menubutton. In active state
212the menubutton is displayed using the \fBactiveForeground\fR and
213\&\fBactiveBackground\fR options. Disabled state means that the menubutton
214should be insensitive: the default bindings will refuse to activate
215the widget and will ignore mouse button presses.
216In this state the \fBdisabledForeground\fR and
217\&\fBbackground\fR options determine how the button is displayed.

225.PD
226Specifies a desired width for the menubutton.
227If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the menubutton then the value is in
228screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
229for text it is in characters.
230If this option isn't specified, the menubutton's desired width is computed
231from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.
232.SH "DESCRIPTION"
233.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
234The \fBMenubutton\fR method creates a new window (given by the
235\&\f(CW$widget\fR argument) and makes it into a menubutton widget.
236Additional
237options, described above, may be specified on the command line
238or in the option database
239to configure aspects of the menubutton such as its colors, font,
240text, and initial relief. The \fBmenubutton\fR command returns its
241\&\f(CW$widget\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
242there must not exist a window named \f(CW$widget\fR, but
243\&\f(CW$widget\fR's parent must exist.
244.PP
245A menubutton is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap, or image
246and is associated with a menu widget.
247If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it
248can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines
249or if wrapping occurs because of the \fBwrapLength\fR option) and
250one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the
251\&\fBunderline\fR option. In normal usage, pressing
252mouse button 1 over the menubutton causes the associated menu to
253be posted just underneath the menubutton. If the mouse is moved over
254the menu before releasing the mouse button, the button release
255causes the underlying menu entry to be invoked. When the button
256is released, the menu is unposted.
257.PP
258Menubuttons are typically organized into groups called menu bars
259that allow scanning:
260if the mouse button is pressed over one menubutton (causing it
261to post its menu) and the mouse is moved over another menubutton
262in the same menu bar without releasing the mouse button, then the
263menu of the first menubutton is unposted and the menu of the
264new menubutton is posted instead.
265.PP
266There are several interactions between menubuttons and menus; see
267the \fBmenu\fR manual entry for information on various menu configurations,
268such as pulldown menus and option menus.
269.SH "WIDGET METHODS"
270.IX Header "WIDGET METHODS"
271The \fBMenubutton\fR method creates a widget object.
272This object supports the \fBconfigure\fR and \fBcget\fR methods
273described in Tk::options which can be used to enquire and
274modify the options described above.
275The \fBmenu\fR method returns the menu associated with the widget.
276The widget also inherits all the methods provided by the generic
277Tk::Widget class.
278.SH "DEFAULT BINDINGS"
279.IX Header "DEFAULT BINDINGS"
280Tk automatically creates class bindings for menubuttons that give them
281the following default behavior:
282.IP "[1]" 4
283.IX Item "[1]"
284A menubutton activates whenever the mouse passes over it and deactivates
285whenever the mouse leaves it.
286.IP "[2]" 4
287.IX Item "[2]"
288Pressing mouse button 1 over a menubutton posts the menubutton:
289its relief changes to raised and its associated menu is posted
290under the menubutton. If the mouse is dragged down into the menu
291with the button still down, and if the mouse button is then
292released over an entry in the menu, the menubutton is unposted
293and the menu entry is invoked.
294.IP "[3]" 4
295.IX Item "[3]"
296If button 1 is pressed over a menubutton and then released over that
297menubutton, the menubutton stays posted: you can still move the mouse
298over the menu and click button 1 on an entry to invoke it.
299Once a menu entry has been invoked, the menubutton unposts itself.
300.IP "[4]" 4
301.IX Item "[4]"
302If button 1 is pressed over a menubutton and then dragged over some
303other menubutton, the original menubutton unposts itself and the
304new menubutton posts.
305.IP "[5]" 4
306.IX Item "[5]"
307If button 1 is pressed over a menubutton and released outside
308any menubutton or menu, the menubutton unposts without invoking
309any menu entry.
310.IP "[6]" 4
311.IX Item "[6]"
312When a menubutton is posted, its associated menu claims the input
313focus to allow keyboard traversal of the menu and its submenus.
314See the \fBmenu\fR documentation for details on these bindings.
315.IP "[7]" 4
316.IX Item "[7]"
317If the \fBunderline\fR option has been specified for a menubutton
318then keyboard traversal may be used to post the menubutton:
319Alt+\fIx\fR, where \fIx\fR is the underlined character (or its
320lower-case or upper-case equivalent), may be typed in any window
321under the menubutton's toplevel to post the menubutton.
322.IP "[8]" 4
323.IX Item "[8]"
324The F10 key may be typed in any window to post the first menubutton
325under its toplevel window that isn't disabled.
326.IP "[9]" 4
327.IX Item "[9]"
328If a menubutton has the input focus, the space and return keys
329post the menubutton.
330.Sp
331If the menubutton's state is \fBdisabled\fR then none of the above
332actions occur: the menubutton is completely non\-responsive.
333.Sp
334The behavior of menubuttons can be changed by defining new bindings for
335individual widgets or by redefining the class bindings.
