# Tix Demostration Program
#
# This sample program is structured in such a way so that it can be
# executed from the Tix demo program "tixwidgets.py": it must have a
# procedure called "RunSample". It should also have the "if" statment
# at the end of this file so that it can be run as a standalone
# program.

# This file demonstrates the use of the tixControl widget -- it is an
# entry widget with up/down arrow buttons. You can use the arrow buttons
# to adjust the value inside the entry widget.
#
# This example program uses three Control widgets. One lets you select
# integer values; one lets you select floating point values and the last
# one lets you select a few names.
