Some Tix mega-widgets may have subwidgets that in turn contain
  subwidgets. For example, the TixExFileSelectDialog (section
  5.1.3) widget contains a TixExFileSelectBox subwidget
  called 
fsbox, which in turn contains a TixComboBox (section
  1.4) subwidget called 
dir. If we want to access
  the 
dir subwidget, we can just ``chain'' the subwidget  method. For example, if we have a TixExFileSelectDialog called 
.file, the following command will return the pathname of the dir subwidget of the fsbox subwidget of .file:
    .file subwidget fsbox subwidget dir
Moreover, the following command configures the 
dir subwidget to
  have a border of the groove type with a border width of 2 pixels:
    .file subwidget fsbox subwidget dir configure -bd 2 -relief groove
The chaining of the subwidget command can be applied for arbitrarily
  many levels, depending whether your widget has a subwidget that has
  a subwidget that has a subwidget that has a subwidget ... and so on.
