This is only a changed copy from Tk::NumEntry and Tk::NumEntryPlain write from Graham Barr <gbarr@pobox.com>. Thanks for this great Module!

DESCRIPTION

Tk::HexEntry defines a widget for entering hexadecimal numbers. The widget also contains buttons for increment and decrement.

Tk::HexEntry supports all the options and methods that the plain HexEntry widget provides (see Tk::HexEntryPlain), plus the following options

STANDARD OPTIONS

Besides the standard options of the Entry widget HexEntry supports:

-orient -repeatdelay -repeatinterval

The -orient option specifies the packing order of the increment and decrement buttons. This option can only be set at creation time.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

Name: buttons
Class: Buttons
Switch: -buttons
Fallback: 1

Boolean that defines if the inc and dec buttons are visible.

Switch: -readonly
Fallback: 0

If -readonly is set to a true value, then the value can only be changed by pressing the increment/decrement buttons. This option can only be set at creation time.

WIDGET METHODS

Subclasses of HexEntry may override the following methods to use different widgets for the composition of the HexEntry. These are: HexEntryPlainWidget, FireButtonWidget, IncFireButtonWidget and DecFireButtonWidget. FireButtonWidget is used if IncFireButtonWidget or DecFireButtonWidget are not defined.
