  <p>We use the <code><a href="mentryWidget.html#put">put</a></code> subcommand

  <p>We use the <code><a href="mentryWidget.html#put">put</a></code> subcommand

  substrings of the given phone number in the corresponding entries, starting
  with the entry child whose index is specified as the first argument following
  the word <code>put</code>.</p>

  <p>Next, we need a procedure that returns the phone number contained in a
  mentry widget having a <code>type</code> attribute value of
  <code>"PhoneNumber"</code>:</p>

    <dd>
      <pre>
<b>mentry::mentry</b> <i>pathName</i> ?<i>options</i>?
</pre>
    </dd>

    <dt id="description"><b>DESCRIPTION</b></dt>

    <dd>The <code><b>mentry::mentry</b></code> command creates a new window
    named <code><i>pathName</i></code> and of the class
    <code><b>Mentry</b></code>, and makes it into a <b>mentry</b> widget.&nbsp;
    Additional options, described below, may be specified on the command line
    or in the option database to configure aspects of the mentry such as its
    colors, font, and children.&nbsp; The <code><b>mentry::mentry</b></code>
    command returns its <code><i>pathName</i></code> argument.&nbsp; At the
    time this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named
    <code><i>pathName</i></code>, but <code><i>pathName</i></code>'s parent
    must exist.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">The word <i>mentry</i> is an abbreviation of
    <i>multi-entry</i>.&nbsp; A mentry is a mega-widget consisting of any
    number of entries separated by labels, all embedded in a frame.&nbsp; Due
    to appropriately chosen configuration options for the entries and labels, a
    mentry widget looks like one single entry containing preinserted text
    pieces that cannot be moved, changed, or deleted by the user.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">The initial width of each entry child (specified by the
    <code><b><a href="#body">-body</a></b></code> configuration option) also
    determines the maximal number of characters that can be inserted into
    it.&nbsp; This is achieved with the aid of the <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#callback">wcb::callback</a></b></code> command, by registering
    the <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#entrycb">wcb::checkEntryLen</a></b></code>
    before-<code><b>insert</b></code> callback with the entry child.&nbsp; In
    order to keep this callback, additional before-<code><b>insert</b></code>
    callbacks (if needed) should only be registered with the <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#cbappend">wcb::cbappend</a></b></code> and <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#cbprepend">wcb::cbprepend</a></b></code> commands.&nbsp; When
    reaching this limit in an entry having the input focus, the latter is set
    automatically to the next enabled entry child, the contents of that widget
    is selected, and the insertion cursor is set to its end.&nbsp; This is made
    sure by defining an appropriate after-<code><b>insert</b></code> callback,
    which must be kept to be the last such callback for the entry.&nbsp; For
    this reason, additional after-<code><b>insert</b></code> callbacks (if
    needed) should only be registered with the
    <code><b>wcb::cbprepend</b></code> command.&nbsp; The same command should
    be used exclusively to define after-<code><b>motion</b></code> callbacks
    (if needed), because <code><b>mentry::mentry</b></code> registers one that
    must be the last after-<code><b>motion</b></code> callback for each entry
    child.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">Each mentry widget may have any number of <b>attributes</b>,
    which can be used in commands that create or manipulate mentry widgets for
    particular purposes.&nbsp; For example, each date mentry created by the
    <code><b><a href=
    "mentryDateTime.html#dateMentry">mentry::dateMentry</a></b></code> command
    has a <code><b>type</b></code> attribute having the value
    <code>"Date"</code> and a <code><b>format</b></code> attribute specifying
    the meanings of its components.&nbsp; The values of these attributes are
    queried and used in the bodies of the procedures <code><b><a href=
    "mentryDateTime.html#putClockVal">mentry::putClockVal</a></b></code> and
    <code><b><a href=
    "mentryDateTime.html#getClockVal">mentry::getClockVal</a></b></code>.</dd>

    <dt id="description"><b>DESCRIPTION</b></dt>

    <dd>The <code><b>mentry::mentry</b></code> command creates a new window
    named <code><i>pathName</i></code> and of the class
    <code><b>Mentry</b></code>, and makes it into a <b>mentry</b> widget.&nbsp;
    Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line
    or in the option database to configure aspects of the mentry such as its
    colors, font, and children.&nbsp; The <code><b>mentry::mentry</b></code>
    command returns its <code><i>pathName</i></code> argument.&nbsp; At the
    time this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named
    <code><i>pathName</i></code>, but <code><i>pathName</i></code>'s parent
    must exist.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">The word <i>mentry</i> is an abbreviation of
    <i>multi-entry</i>.&nbsp; A mentry is a mega-widget consisting of any
    number of entries separated by labels, all embedded in a frame.&nbsp; Due
    to appropriately chosen configuration options for the entries and labels, a
    mentry widget looks like one single entry containing preinserted text
    pieces that cannot be moved, changed, or deleted by the user.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">As described above, the initial width of each entry child
    (specified by the <code><b><a href="#body">-body</a></b></code>
    configuration option) also determines the maximal number of characters that
    can be inserted into it.&nbsp; This is achieved with the aid of the
    <code><b><a href="wcbRef.html#callback">wcb::callback</a></b></code>
    command, by registering the <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#entrycb">wcb::checkEntryLen</a></b></code>
    before-<code><b>insert</b></code> callback with the entry child.&nbsp; In
    order to keep this callback, additional before-<code><b>insert</b></code>
    callbacks (if needed) should only be registered with the <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#cbappend">wcb::cbappend</a></b></code> and <code><b><a href=
    "wcbRef.html#cbprepend">wcb::cbprepend</a></b></code> commands.&nbsp; When
    reaching this limit in an entry having the input focus, the latter is set
    automatically to the next enabled entry child, the contents of that widget
    is selected, and the insertion cursor is set to its end.&nbsp; This is made
    sure by defining an appropriate after-<code><b>insert</b></code> callback,
    which must be kept to be the last such callback for the entry.&nbsp; For
    this reason, additional after-<code><b>insert</b></code> callbacks (if
    needed) should only be registered with the
    <code><b>wcb::cbprepend</b></code> command.&nbsp; The same command should
    be used exclusively to define after-<code><b>motion</b></code> callbacks
    (if needed), because <code><b>mentry::mentry</b></code> registers one that
    must be the last after-<code><b>motion</b></code> callback for each entry
    child.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">Each mentry widget may have any number of <b>attributes</b>,
    which can be used in commands that create or manipulate mentry widgets for
    particular purposes.&nbsp; For example, each date mentry created by the
    <code><b><a href=
    "mentryDateTime.html#dateMentry">mentry::dateMentry</a></b></code> command
    has a <code><b>type</b></code> attribute having the value
    <code>"Date"</code> and a <code><b>format</b></code> attribute specifying
    the meanings of its components.&nbsp; The values of these attributes are
    queried and used in the bodies of the procedures <code><b><a href=
    "mentryDateTime.html#putClockVal">mentry::putClockVal</a></b></code> and
    <code><b><a href=
    "mentryDateTime.html#getClockVal">mentry::getClockVal</a></b></code>.</dd>

    <dt class="tm" id="indices"><b>INDICES</b></dt>

    <dd>Some of the widget commands for mentries take an index as
    argument.&nbsp; An index specifies a particular entry or label child of the
    mentry, in any of the following ways:</dd>

    <dd class="tm">
      <table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0">
        <tr valign="top">
          <td><code><i>number&nbsp;&nbsp;</i></code></td>

          <td>Specifies the child as a numerical index, where <code>0</code>
          corresponds to the first entry or label child.</td>
        </tr>

        <tr valign="top">
          <td><code><b>end</b></code></td>

          <td>Indicates the last entry or label child of the mentry.</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </dd>

    <dd class="tm">The word <code><b>end</b></code> can be abbreviated as
    <code><b>en</b></code> or <code><b>e</b></code>.&nbsp; Out-of-range indices

    way to invoke this command from within a before-<code><b>delete</b></code>
    callback is as shown in the following example:</dd>

    <dd>
      <blockquote>
        <pre>
proc myBeforeDeleteCallback {w args} {
    #

    # Get the text that would be contained in the widget after
    # deleting the characters specified by $args, which stands
    # for the one or two arguments passed to delete; pass these
    # arguments to wcb::postDeleteEntryText by expanding $args
    #
    set newText [eval [list wcb::postDeleteEntryText $w] $args]
    if {!<i>some_condition_on_</i>$newText} {
        wcb::cancel
    }
}
</pre>
      </blockquote>
    </dd>

    <dd>The following alternative, more elegant solution requires Tcl/Tk 8.5 or
    later:</dd>

    <dd>
      <blockquote>
        <pre>
proc myBeforeDeleteCallback {w args} {
    # . . .
