Tk widget where the action menu label changes with selection

include "optionmenu.g"

Description

This Tk widget is identical to the optionmenu widget, where you should look for function and event documentation (we give the constructor only below, with an example to show the intended usage). The actionoptionmenu exists only so you can use it for ``action'' menus, where the relief (usually raised) and colors will in general be different from that of a ``selection'' option menu (relief is usually groove).

The actionoptionmenu is implemented on top of the optionmenu in the widgetserver tool. This means that it is only available via the widgetserver. Therefore you must do something like

Example

- include 'widgetserver.g'
- f := dws.frame();
- m : = dws.actionoptionmenu(f);

You will have no success if you try to do

Example

- include 'actionoptionmenu.g'
- f := frame();
- m : = actionoptionmenu(f);

as the file actionoptionmenu.g does not exist.
