tk::dialog(3pm) [debian man page]

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

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 Show() 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/);

NAME

       tk_dialog - Create modal dialog and wait for response

SYNOPSIS

       tk_dialog window title text bitmap default string string ...
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This procedure is part of the Tk script library.  Its arguments describe a dialog box:

       window Name of top-level window to use for dialog.  Any existing window by this name is destroyed.

       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 box.

       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
	      If this is an integer greater than or equal to zero, then it gives the index of the button that is to be the default button for  the
	      dialog (0 for the leftmost button, and so on).  If less than zero or an empty string then there won't be any default button.

       string There  will  be  one  button  for each of these arguments.  Each string specifies text to display in a button, in order from left to
	      right.

       After creating a dialog box, tk_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 index of the selected button:  0 for the leftmost button, 1
       for the button next to it, and so on.  If the dialog's window is destroyed before the user selects one of the buttons, then -1 is returned.

       While waiting for the user to respond, tk_dialog sets a local grab.  This prevents the user from interacting with the  application  in  any
       way except to invoke the dialog box.
