The iwidgets::dateentry command creates a quicken style date entry
field with a popup calendar by combining the datefield and calendar
widgets together. This allows a user to enter the date via the key-
board or by using the mouse and selecting the calendar icon which
brings up a popup calendar.
METHODS
The iwidgets::dateentry command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the
widget. It has the following general form:

Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The
following commands are possible for dateentry widgets:

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid-
gets::dateentry 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 avail-
able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
value, then the command returns a list describing the one named
option (this list will be identical 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 iwidgets::dateentry command.
