.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBtk_messageBox \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR?
|
|
.BE
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This procedure creates and displays a message window with an
|
|
application-specified message, an icon and a set of buttons. Each of
|
|
the buttons in the message window is identified by a unique symbolic
|
|
name (see the \fB\-type\fR options). After the message window is
|
|
popped up, \fBtk_messageBox\fR waits for the user to select one of the
|
|
buttons. Then it returns the symbolic name of the selected button.
|
|
|
|
The following option-value pairs are supported:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-default\fR \fIname\fR
|
|
\fIName\fR gives the symbolic name of the default button for
|
|
this message window ('ok', 'cancel', and so on). See \fB\-type\fR
|
|
for a list of the symbolic names. If the message box has just one
|
|
button it will automatically be made the default, otherwise if this
|
|
option is not specified, there won't be any default button.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-icon\fR \fIiconImage\fR
|
|
Specifies an icon to display. \fIIconImage\fR must be one of the
|
|
following: \fBerror\fR, \fBinfo\fR, \fBquestion\fR or
|
|
\fBwarning\fR. If this option is not specified, then no icon will be
|
|
displayed.

box is displayed on top of its parent window.
