UI::Dialog(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation UI::Dialog(3pm)
NAME
UI::Dialog
SYNOPSIS
use UI::Dialog;
my $d = new UI::Dialog ( backtitle => 'Demo', title => 'Default',
height => 20, width => 65 , listheight => 5,
order => [ 'zenity', 'xdialog' ] );
# Either a Zenity or Xdialog msgbox widget should popup,
# with a preference for Zenity.
$d->msgbox( title => 'Welcome!', text => 'Welcome one and all!' );
ABSTRACT
UI::Dialog is a OOPerl wrapper for the various dialog applications. These dialog backends are currently supported: Zenity, XDialog, GDia-
log, KDialog, CDialog, and Whiptail. There is also an ASCII backend provided as a last resort interface for the console based dialog vari-
ants. UI::Dialog is a class that provides a strict interface to these various backend modules. By using UI:Dialog (with it's imposed limi-
tations on the widgets) you can ensure that your Perl program will function with any available interfaces.
DESCRIPTION
UI::Dialog supports priority ordering of the backend detection process. So if you'd prefer that Xdialog should be used first if available,
simply designate the desired order when creating the new object. The default order for detecting and utilization of the backends are as
follows:
(with DISPLAY env): Zenity, GDialog, XDialog, KDialog
(without DISPLAY): CDialog, Whiptail, ASCII
UI::Dialog is the result of a complete re-write of the UDPM CPAN module. This was done to break away from the bad choice of name (User-
DialogPerlModule) and to implement a cleaner, more detached, OOPerl interface.
EXPORT
None
INHERITS
None
CONSTRUCTOR
new( @options )
EXAMPLE
my $d = new( title => 'Default Title', backtitle => 'Backtitle',
width => 65, height => 20, listheight => 5,
order => [ 'zenity', 'xdialog', 'gdialog' ] );
DESCRIPTION
This is the Class Constructor method. It accepts a list of key => value pairs and uses them as the defaults when interacting
with the various widgets.
RETURNS
A blessed object reference of the UI::Dialog class.
OPTIONS
The (...)'s after each option indicate the default for the option. An * denotes support by all the widget methods on a per-use policy
defaulting to the values decided during object creation.
debug = 0,1,2(0)
order = [ zenity, xdialog, gdialog, kdialog, cdialog, whiptail, ascii ] (as indicated)
PATH = [ /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/bin ] (as indicated)
backtitle = "backtitle" ('') *
title = "title" ('') *
beepbefore = 0,1(0) *
beepafter = 0,1(0) *
height = d+(20) *
width = d+(65) *
listheight = d+(5) *
STATE METHODS
state( )
EXAMPLE
if ($d->state() eq "OK") {
$d->msgbox( text => "that went well" );
}
DESCRIPTION
Returns the state of the last dialog widget command. The value can be one of "OK", "CANCEL", "ESC". The return data is based on
the exit codes (return value) of the last widget displayed.
RETURNS
a single SCALAR.
ra( )
EXAMPLE
my @array = $d->ra();
DESCRIPTION
Returns the last widget's data as an array.
RETURNS
an ARRAY.
rs( )
EXAMPLE
my $string = $d->rs();
DESCRIPTION
Returns the last widget's data as a (possibly multiline) string.
RETURNS
a SCALAR.
rv( )
EXAMPLE
my $string = $d->rv();
DESCRIPTION
Returns the last widget's exit status, aka: return value.
RETURNS
a SCALAR.
WIDGET METHODS
yesno( )
EXAMPLE
if ($d->yesno( text => 'A binary type question?') ) {
# user pressed yes
} else {
# user pressed no or cancel
}
DESCRIPTION
Present the end user with a message box that has two buttons, yes and no.
RETURNS
TRUE(1) for a response of YES or FALSE(0) for anything else.
msgbox( )
EXAMPLE
$d->msgbox( text => 'A simple message' );
DESCRIPTION
Pesent the end user with a message box that has an OK button.
RETURNS
TRUE(1) for a response of OK or FALSE(0) for anything else.

password( )

Present the end user with a text input field, that has hidden input, and a message.
Note that the GDialog backend will provide a regular inputbox instead of a password box because gdialog doesn't support pass-
