SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.4

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a dialog which consists of 2 listboxes, along with buttons to move items between them and reorder the right list.

       ::swaplist::swaplist pathName variable completeList selectedList ?options?
	      Creates a dialog which presents the user with a pair of listboxes. Items are selected by using the buttons to move them to the right
	      list. The contents of the right list are put in the variable upon closure of the dialog.	The command returns a  boolean	indicating
	      if  the  user pressed OK or not. If -geometry is not specified, the dialog is centered in its parent toplevel unless its parent is .
	      in which case the dialog is centered in the screen.

	      Options:

	      -embed if this flag is supplied, the procedure will create a swaplist widget named pathName, with the variable set as the  listvari-
		     able for the right side listbox. This flag will also cause the -title and -geometry flags to be ignored.

	      -reorder
		     boolean  specifying  if  buttons allowing the user to change the order of the right listbox should appear or not. defaults to
		     true

	      -title sets the title of the dialog window. defaults to "Configuration"

	      -llabel
		     sets the heading above the left list. defaults to "Available:"

	      -rlabel
		     sets the heading above the right list. defaults to "Selected:"

	      -lbuttontext
		     sets the text on the "move left" button. defaults to "<<"

	      -rbuttontext
		     sets the text on the "move right" button. defaults to ">>"

	      -ubuttontext
		     sets the text on the "move up" button. defaults to "Move Up"

	      -dbuttontext
		     sets the text on the "move down" button. defaults to "Move Down"

	      -geometry
		     sets the geometry of the dialog window.

EXAMPLE

	      package require swaplist
	      namespace import swaplist::*

	      if {[swaplist .slist opts "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" "1 3 5"]} {
		  puts "user chose numbers: $ops"
	      }

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 will not 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.

EXAMPLE

	      set reply [tk_dialog .foo "The Title" "Do you want to say yes?" 
		      questhead 0 Yes No "I'm not sure"]
