DESCRIPTION
Tcl::pTk::ttkBrowseEntry is a wrapper around the Tile widget ttkCombobox that is compatible with Tcl::pTk::BrowseEntry. It is provided for a quick upgrade of existing code to use the newer Combobox widget.

OPTIONS
In addition to the options of the parent widget, this widget recognizes the following options:

-label
    Optional name of a label to include for the browseEntry.

-labelPack
    Optional Array-ref of information used to pack the optional label.

-autolimitheight
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored.

-arrowimage
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored.

-autolimitheight
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored.

-autolistwidth
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored. (The Combobox widget always sets its listwidth the same as the width of the entry)

-browsecmd
    Specifies a function to call when a selection is made in the popped up listbox. It is passed the widget and the text of the entry selected. This function is called after the entry variable has been assigned the value.

-browse2cmd
    Like "-browsecmd", but the callback is called with the listbox index instead of the selected value.

-buttontakefocus
    Set the "-takefocus" option of the button subwidget. This option is mapped to the "-takefocus" option of the comboBox widget.

-choices
    Specifies the list of choices to pop up. This is a reference to an array of strings specifying the choices.

-colorstate
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored.

-label*
    Any options that start with 'label' (e.g. -labelBackground, -labelFont) are provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but are ignored.

-listcmd
    Specifies the function to call when the button next to the entry is pressed to popup the choices in the listbox. This is called before popping up the listbox, so can be used to populate the entries in the listbox.

-listheight
    Set the height of the listbox. This option is mapped to the "-height" option of the Combobox.

-listwidth
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored. (The Combobox widget always sets its listwidth the same as the width of the entry)

-state
    Specifies one of three states for the widget: normal, readonly, or disabled.

-style
    This option is provided for compatibility with BrowseEntry, but is ignored.

-variable
    Specifies the variable in which the entered value is to be stored.

delete(index1, index2)
    Deletes items from index1 to index2.

get(index1, index2)
    gets items from index1 to index2. This is there for compatibility with BrowseEntry.
