tk_messageBox (n)
pops up a message window and waits for user response.
SYNOPSIS
tk_messageBox ?option value ...?
DESCRIPTION
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 -type options). After the message window is
popped up, tk_messageBox 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:
-default name
Name gives the symbolic name of the default button for
this message window ('ok', 'cancel', and so on). See -type
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.
-icon iconImage
Specifies an icon to display. IconImage must be one of the
following: error, info, question or
warning. If this option is not specified, then no icon will be
displayed.
-message string
Specifies the message to display in this message box.
-parent window
Makes window the logical parent of the message box. The message
box is displayed on top of its parent window.
-title titleString
Specifies a string to display as the title of the message box. The
default value is an empty string.
-type predefinedType
Arranges for a predefined set of buttons to be displayed. The
following values are possible for predefinedType:
abortretryignore
Displays three buttons whose symbolic names are abort,
retry and ignore.
ok
Displays one button whose symbolic name is ok.
okcancel
Displays two buttons whose symbolic names are ok and cancel.
retrycancel
Displays two buttons whose symbolic names are retry and cancel.
yesno
Displays two buttons whose symbolic names are yes and no.
yesnocancel
Displays three buttons whose symbolic names are yes, no
and cancel.
EXAMPLE
set answer [tk_messageBox -message "Really quit?" -type yesno -icon question]
case $answer {
yes exit
no {tk_messageBox -message "I know you like this application!" -type ok}
}

'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
'\" manual entries.
'\"
'\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
'\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
'\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
'\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
'\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
'\" needed; use .AS below instead)
'\"
'\" .AS ?type? ?name?
'\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
'\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
'\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
'\"
'\" .BS
'\" Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
'\" enclosed in one large box.
'\"
'\" .BE
'\" End of box enclosure.
'\"
'\" .CS
'\" Begin code excerpt.
'\"
'\" .CE
'\" End code excerpt.
'\"
'\" .VS ?version? ?br?
'\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
'\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
'\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
'\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
'\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
'\"
'\" .VE
'\" End of vertical sidebar.
'\"
'\" .DS
'\" Begin an indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .DE
'\" End of indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .SO
'\" Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The
'\" options follow on successive lines, in four columns separated
'\" by tabs.
'\"
'\" .SE
'\" End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
'\"
'\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
'\" Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the
'\" option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
'\" the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
'\" the option's class in the option database.
'\"
'\" .UL arg1 arg2
'\" Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.
