.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
.PP
In addition to the standard
\fBcget\fR, \fBconfigure\fR, \fBidentify element\fR, \fBinstate\fR,
\fBstate\fR and \fBstyle\fR
commands (see \fBttk::widget\fR),
checkbutton widgets support the following additional commands:
.TP
\fIpathname\fB invoke\fR
Toggles between the selected and deselected states
and evaluates the associated \fB\-command\fR.
If the widget is currently selected, sets the \fB\-variable\fR
to the \fB\-offvalue\fR and deselects the widget;
otherwise, sets the \fB\-variable\fR to the \fB\-onvalue\fR
Returns the result of the \fB\-command\fR.
.\" Missing: select, deselect, toggle
.\" Are these useful? They don't invoke the -command
.\" Missing: flash. This is definitely not useful.
.SH "WIDGET STATES"
.PP
The widget does not respond to user input if the \fBdisabled\fR state is set.
The widget sets the \fBselected\fR state whenever
the linked \fB\-variable\fR is set to the widget's \fB\-onvalue\fR,
and clears it otherwise.
The widget sets the \fBalternate\fR state whenever the
linked \fB\-variable\fR is unset.
(The \fBalternate\fR state may be used to indicate a
.QW tri-state
or
.QW indeterminate
selection.)
