dialog(3)
NAME
Tk::Dialog - Create modal dialog and wait for a response.
SYNOPSIS
$dialog = $parent->Dialog(-option => value, ... );
DESCRIPTION
This procedure is part of the Tk script library - its
arguments describe a dialog box. After creating a dialog
box, Dialog waits for the user to select one of the but
tons either by clicking on the button with the mouse or by
typing return to invoke the default button (if any). Then
it returns the text string of the selected button.
While waiting for the user to respond, Dialog sets a local
grab. This prevents the user from interacting with the
application in any way except to invoke the dialog box.
See SShhooww(()) method.
The following option/value pairs are supported:
- -title
- Text to appear in the window manager's title bar for
the dialog. - -text
- Message to appear in the top portion of the dialog
box. - -bitmap
- If non-empty, specifies a bitmap to display in the top
portion of the dialog, to the left of the text. If
this is an empty string then no bitmap is displayed in
the dialog. - -default_button
- Text label string of the button that displays the
default ring. - -buttons
- A reference to a list of button label strings. Each
string specifies text to display in a button, in order from left to right.
METHODS
- "$answer = $dialog->Show(?-global?);"
- This method displays the dialog, waits for the user's
response, and stores the text string of the selected
button in $answer. If -global is specified a global (rather than local) grab is performed.
EXAMPLE
$dialog = $mw->Dialog(-text => 'Save File?', -bitmap =>
'question', -title => 'Save File Dialog', -default_button
=> 'Yes', -buttons => [qw/Yes No Cancel/);
