DialogBox(3)	      perl/Tk Documentation	     DialogBox(3)

NAME
       Tk::DialogBox - create and manipulate a dialog screen.

SYNOPSIS
	   use Tk::DialogBox
	   ...
	   $d = $top->DialogBox(-title => "Title", -buttons => ["OK", "Cancel"]);
	   $w = $d->add(Widget, args);
	   ...
	   $button = $d->Show;

DESCRIPTION
       DialogBox is very similar to Dialog except that it allows
       any widget in the top frame. DialogBox creates two
       frames---"top" and "bottom". The bottom frame shows all
       the specified buttons, lined up from left to right. The
       top frame acts as a container for all other widgets that
       can be added with the add() method. The non-standard
       options recognized by DialogBox are as follows:

       -title
	   Specify the title of the dialog box. If this is not
	   set, then the name of the program is used.

       -buttons
	   The buttons to display in the bottom frame. This is a
	   reference to an array of strings containing the text
	   to put on each button. There is no default value for
	   this. If you do not specify any buttons, no buttons
	   will be displayed.

       -default_button
	   Specifies the default button that is considered
	   invoked when user presses <Return> on the dialog box.
	   This button is highlighted. If no default button is
	   specified, then the first element of the array whose
	   reference is passed to the -buttons option is used as
	   the default.

METHODS
       DialogBox supports only two methods as of now:

       add(widget, options)
	   Add the widget indicated by widget. Widget can be the
	   name of any Tk widget (standard or contributed).
	   Options are the options that the widget accepts. The
	   widget is advertized as a subwidget of DialogBox.

       Show(grab)
	   Display the dialog box, until user invokes one of the
	   buttons in the bottom frame. If the grab type is
	   specified in grab, then Show uses that grab; otherwise
	   it uses a local grab. Returns the name of the button

	   invoked.

BUGS
       There is no way of removing a widget once it has been
       added to the top frame.

       There is no control over the appearance of the buttons in
       the bottom frame nor is there any way to control the
       placement of the two frames with respect to each other
       e.g. widgets to the left, buttons to the right instead of
       widgets on the top and buttons on the bottom always.
