NAME

       XltWorking - Convenience function to display a Working dialog, and update the bar graph in the dialog.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xlt/Xlt.h>

       Boolean XltWorking(widget, question, percent_done)
	    Widget    widget;
	    String    question;
	    int       percentdone;

DESCRIPTION

       XltWorking  Creates  a  dialog  containing  a  message string, a bar showing the percentage of the task complete, and an abort button. When
       called with a percent_done value of zero the dialog is managed, and a timer installed to update the bar every second. If  question  is  not
       NULL,  the message string in the dialog is set to this. When called with a percent_done of 100, the dialog is un-managed.  If called with a
       percent_done of -1, only the message is changed. Any value between 0 and 100 will cause the bar graph to be updated the next time the timer
       fires, and processes any pending timer and X events. If the return value is True, the user has requested that the task should be aborted.

       widget The widget to wait for.

       question
	      The message to display in the working dialog. Or NULL, meaning no change.

       percent_done
	      The  percentage  of  the	task complete. 0 will cause the dialog to be managed.  100 will cause the dialog to be un-managed. -1 will
	      update the question only.  Any value between 0 and 100 will update the bar graph.

RETURN VALUE

       Boolean, if True the abort button was pushed, or the window was closed by the window manager.

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"]
