In a dialog box, one button may be designated the
“default”
button (meaning, roughly,
“the one that gets invoked when the user presses <Enter>”).
active indicates that this is currently the default button;
normal means that it may become the default button, and
disabled means that it is not defaultable.
The default is normal.
Depending on the theme, the default button may be displayed
with an extra highlight ring, or with a different border color.
In addition to the standard
cget, configure, identify, instate, and state
commands, buttons support the following additional widget commands:
- pathName invoke
-
Invokes the command associated with the button.
Ttk::button widgets support the Toolbutton style in all standard
themes, which is useful for creating widgets for toolbars.
The class name for a ttk::button is TButton.
Dynamic states: active, disabled, pressed, readonly.

-anchor anchor

shifted down and right in the pressed state.
