DESCRIPTION
       The  dateentry  command	creates  a  quicken  style  date entry field with a popup calendar by combining the datefield and calendar widgets
       together.  This allows a user to enter the date via the keyboard or by using the mouse and selecting the calendar icon which  brings  up  a
       popup calendar.

METHODS
       The  dateentry command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName.  This command may be used to invoke various operations on the wid-
       get.  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 dateentry widgets:

INHERITED METHODS
       get	       isvalid	      show

       See the "datefield" manual entry for details on the associated methods.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC 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 dateentry
	      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 dateentry command.

COMPONENTS
       Name:	       label
       Class:	       Label

	      label component item.

       Name:	       iconbutton
       Class:	       Label

	      The iconbutton component provides a labelbutton component to act as a lightweight button displaying the calendar icon.  Upon  press-
	      ing the labelbutton, the calendar appears.  See the "label" widget manual entry for details on the labelbutton component item.
