widgets for IP addressesmentry::ipAddrMentry pathName ?options?
pathName
for displaying and editing IP addresses in the standard dotted-decimal
notation. The supported options
are the same as
in the case of the mentry::mentry
command.type
attribute of
the widget to the value "IPAddr"
and returns the name of the
newly created widget.mentry::ipAddrMentry
command defines five new
keyboard bindings for the entry components of the mentry widget it
creates: The Up
key increments the entry's value by 1 if
the latter is less than 255. Similarly, the Down
key
decrements the entry's value by 1 if the latter is greater than 0.
The Prior
key increments the entry's value by at most 10 if
the latter is less than 255. Similarly, the Next
key
decrements the entry's value by at most 10 if the latter is greater than
0. If the entry is empty then all of these keys insert the value
0
into the entry. Finally, Control-v
(Command-v
on the Mac) pastes the current contents of the
clipboad into the mentry, provided that it is a valid IP address.Up
and
Down
keys can also be triggered by rolling the mouse
wheel. In addition, on Mac OS Classic and Mac OS X/11+ Aqua, the
actions performed by the Prior
and Next
keys are
also triggered by the <Option-MouseWheel>
event. The same holds true on all windowing systems if the Tk version
is 8.7a4 or later, where the Option
modifier is bound
to the Option
key on Mac OS X/11+ and to the Alt
key on Windows and X11.mentry::putIPAddr
