The promptdi- alog is derived from the dialog class and is composed of a EntryField with commands to manipulate the dialog buttons.METHODSThe iwidgets::promptdialog 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 command. The following commands are possible for promptdialog widgets:ASSOCIATED METHODSdelete get icursor index insert scan selection xview See the "entry" widget manual entry for details on the above associated methods. clear See the "entryfield" widget manual entry for details on the above associated methods.INHERITED METHODSadd buttonconfigure defaulthide invoke show See the "buttonbox" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited methods. childsite See the "dialogshell" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited methods. activate center deactivate See the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited methods.

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::promptdialog command.COMPONENTSName: prompt Class: Entryfield The prompt component is the entry field for user input in the prompt dialog.
