Together they allow the user to select one of the values given by the <I>value</I> arguments. The current value will be stored in the global variable whose name is given by <I>varName</I> and it will also be displayed as the label in the option menubutton. The user can click on the menubutton to display a menu containing all of the <I>value</I>s and thereby select a new value. Once a new value is selected, it will be stored in the variable and appear in the option menubutton. The current value can also be changed by setting the variable. <P> The return value from <B>tk_optionMenu</B> is the name of the menu associated with <I>w</I>, so that the caller can change its configuration options or manipulate it in other ways. <H3><A NAME="M5">KEYWORDS</A></H3> <A href="../Keywords/O.htm#option menu">option menu</A> <HR><PRE> <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1990-1994 The Regents of the University of California. <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1994-1996 Sun Microsystems, Inc. <A HREF="../copyright.htm">Copyright</A> © 1995-1997 Roger E.
