_________________________________________________________________
The extfileselectiondialog command creates an extended file
selection dialog which is slightly different than the
fileselectiondialog widget. The differences are mostly
cosmetic in that the listboxes are within a panedwindow and
the entryfields for the filter and selection have been
replaced by comboboxes. Other than that the interface is
practically the same.
The extfileselectiondialog 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:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for extfileselectiondialog
widgets:
- get 
-             childsite      filter
 
See the "fileselectionbox" class manual entry for details on
the associated methods.

See the "buttonbox" widget manual entry for details on the
above inherited methods.
activate        center         deactivate
See the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above
inherited methods.
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by option. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the extfileselectiondialog 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 available 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 extfileselectiondialog
command.
