DESCRIPTION
The iwidgets::dialog command creates a dialog box providing standard buttons and a child site for use in derived classes. The buttons
include ok, apply, cancel, and help. Methods and Options exist to configure the buttons and their containing box.
METHODS
The iwidgets::dialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on
the widget. It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the com-
mand. The following commands are possible for dialog widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid-
gets::dialog command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then
the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value
returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget
option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted
by the iwidgets::dialog command.
