SYNOPSIS

9        use Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs ( destroy_with_parent => TRUE,
10                                modal => TRUE,
11                                no_separator => FALSE );
12
13        # do some stuff like creating your app's main $window then,
14        # to ensure that all messages use the right parent, set it:
15        Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_parent_window( $window );
16
17        # now popup a new dialog
18        my $r = ask Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question ( "Is Perl only hacker's glue?" );
19        if ( $r ) {
20          # end-user thinks so
21        } else {
22          # end-user does not think so
23        }
24
25        # now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
26        new_and_run
27         Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message ( title => "Dialog Title",
28                                      text => "This is a simple message" );
29
30        # now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
31        new_and_run
32         Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg ( "Simple error message." );
33

DESCRIPTION

35       This module provides the Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message,
36       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg and Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question classes to
37       the main application while setting the initial defaults to those
38       specified upon using Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs.
39

OPTIONS

41       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs supports the following options:
42
43       title => STRING
44           The title of the dialog window. Defaults to an empty string.
45
46       text => STRING
47           The text to be displayed. This is the core purpose of the module
48           and is the only mandatory argument.
49
50       icon => /path/to/image || stock-id || Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf || Gtk2::Image
51           The dialog-sized image to place to the left of the text. Note:
52           there are five aliased stock-ids which correspond to the five
53           gtk-dialog-* ids, "warning", "question", "info", "error" and
54           "authentication". Defaults to the stock-id "gtk-dialog-question".
55
56       parent_window => Gtk2::Window
57           Reference to the main application window.
58
59       destroy_with_parent => BOOL
60           When the parent_window is destroyed, what do we do? Defaults to
61           FALSE.
62
63       modal => BOOL
64           Does this message make the parent_window freeze while the message
65           exists.  Defaults to FALSE.
66
67       no_separator => BOOL
68           Draw the horizontal separator between the content area and the
69           button area below. Defaults to FALSE.
70
71       default_yes => BOOL
72           Autofocus on the "YES" button. Defaults to FALSE.
73
74       must_exist => BOOL
75           The end-user must supply a path to an existing file or directory.
76           Should the end-user provide a non-existant path, the dialog will be
77           respawned until an existing file is chosen. Defaults to FALSE.
78

FUNCTIONS

80       This module provides a "set_" function for all options that takes a
81       signle argument that is then used as the default for all three modules
82       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message, Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg and
83       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question. For clarity, the function names are as
84       follows:
85
86       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_title
87       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_text
88       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_icon
89       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_modal
90       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_parent_window
91       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_destroy_with_parent
92       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_default_yes
93       Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_must_exist
