-statusbar => $widget

Specifies the widget used to display the status message.

This widget should accept the

-text option and is typi-

cally a Label.

$balloon->attach($widget, -option => value ?,...?);

Attaches the widget indicated by $widget to the help system.

-statusmsg => statusMessage

The message shown on the status bar when the mouse

passes over this client. If not specified but -msg is speci-

fied then the message displayed on the status bar is the

same as the argument for -msg.

-balloonmsg => balloonMessage

The message displayed in the balloon when the mouse

pauses over the client. As with -statusmsg, if this is not

specified, it takes its value from the -msg specification. If

neither -balloonmsg nor -msg are specified, an empty bal-

loon will pop up.

-msg => defaultMessage

The catch-all for -statusmsg and -balloonmsg. This is a

convenient way of specifying the same message to be

displayed in both the balloon and the status bar for the

client.

$balloon->detach($widget);

Detaches the specified widget from the help system.

vides a button to popup the choices of the possible values

that the Entry may take.
