31The  iwidgets::promptdialog command creates a prompt dialog simi‐
32lar to the OSF/Motif standard  prompt  dialog  composite  widget.
33The promptdialog is derived from the dialog class and is composed
34of a EntryField with commands to manipulate the dialog buttons.
35
36The iwidgets::promptdialog command  creates  a  new  Tcl  command
37whose name is pathName.  This command may be used to invoke vari‐
38ous operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:

pathName option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the

40exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are possi‐
41ble for promptdialog widgets:

delete get icursor index

insert scan selection xview

pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configura‐

61tion  option  given by option.  Option may have any of the values
62accepted by the iwidgets::promptdialog command.  pathName config‐

ure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the con‐

64figuration options of the widget.  If no option is specified, re‐
65turns a list describing all of the available options for pathName
66(see Tk_ConfigureInfo for  information  on  the  format  of  this
67list).   If  option  is specified with no value, then the command
68returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be
69identical  to  the corresponding sublist of the value returned if
70no option is specified).  If one or more option−value  pairs  are
71specified,  then  the command modifies the given widget option(s)
72to have the given value(s);  in this case the command returns  an
73empty  string.  Option may have any of the values accepted by the

iwidgets::promptdialog command.
