NAME

6       Tk::messageBox  -  pop up a message window and wait for user response.
7

SYNOPSIS

9           $response = $widget->messageBox(-option => value, ... );
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This method uses Tk::Dialog to quickly create several common dialog
13       boxes. A dialog widget consists of a message, an icon and a set of
14       buttons (see the -type option). After the message window is popped up,
15       messageBox waits for the user to select one of the buttons and return
16       the button text (note that it's best to check the returned value in a
17       case insensitive manner). NOTE: unlike Tk::Dialog which creates its
18       widget once and can be used many times, the messageBox window is
19       created every time it's used.
20
21       The following option/value pairs are supported:
22
23       -default
24           The case-sensitive symbolic name of the default button for this
25           message window  ('Ok',  'Cancel'  and  so on).  See  -type  for a
26           list of the symbolic names.  If the message box has  just  one
27           button  it  will automatically  be  made  the  default, otherwise
28           if this option is not specified, there  won't  be  any default
29           button.
30
31       -icon
32           Specifies an icon to display. On X11 any of the builtin Tk bitmaps
33           can specified. On Windows only error, info, question or warning are
34           supported.
35
36       -message
37           Specifies the message to display.
38
39       -title
40           Specifies  a  string to display as the title.
41
42       -type
43           Specifies a predefined set of buttons to be displayed. The
44           following values are possible: 'AbortRetryIgnore', 'Ok',
45           'OkCancel', 'RetryCancel', 'YesNo' or 'YesNoCancel'.
46

EXAMPLE

50       'Retry');
