Dialog(3)             User Contributed Perl Documentation            Dialog(3)




NAME

       Tk::Dialog - Create modal dialog and wait for a response.


SYNOPSIS

           $dialog = $parent->Dialog(-option => value, ... );


DESCRIPTION

       This procedure is part of the Tk script library - its arguments
       describe a dialog box.  After creating a dialog box, Dialog waits for
       the user to select one of the Buttons either by clicking on the Button
       with the mouse or by typing return to invoke the default Button (if
       any).  Then it returns the text string of the selected Button.

       While waiting for the user to respond, Dialog sets a local grab.  This
       prevents the user from interacting with the application in any way
       except to invoke the dialog box.  See the SShhooww(()) method.


OPTIONS

       The following option/value pairs are supported:

       -title
           Text to appear in the window manager's title bar for the dialog.

       -text
           Message to appear in the top portion of the Dialog.

       -bitmap
           If non-empty, specifies a bitmap to display in the top portion of
           the Dialog, to the left of the text.  If this is an empty string
           then no bitmap is displayed in the Dialog.

       -default_button
           Text label string of the Button that displays the default ring.

       -buttons
           A reference to a list of Button label strings.  Each string
           specifies text to display in a Button, in order from left to right.


METHODS

       $answer = $dialog->Show(?-global?);
           This method displays the Dialog, waits for the user's response, and
           stores the text string of the selected Button in $answer.  If
           -global is specified a global (rather than local) grab is
           performed.

           The actual Dialog is shown using the Popup method. Any other
           options supplied to Show are passed to Popup, and can be used to
           position the Dialog on the screen. Please read Tk::Popup for
           details.


ADVERTISED WIDGETS

       Because Tk::Dialog is a subclass of Tk::DialogBox it inherits all the
       advertised subwidgets of its superclass: e.g. "B_button-text", where
       'button-text' is a Button's -text value. Additionally, Tk::Dialog
       advertises:

       message
           The dialog's Label widget containing the message text.

       bitmap
           The dialog's Label widget containing the bitmap image.


EXAMPLE

       $dialog = $mw->Dialog(-text => 'Save File?', -bitmap => 'question',
       -title => 'Save File Dialog', -default_button => 'Yes', -buttons =>
       [qw/Yes No Cancel/);


KEYWORDS

       bitmap, dialog, modal, messageBox
