VtMessageDialog

Create a Message dialog

Syntax

VtMessageDialog object_name [options]

Description

Creates a dialog box containing a message and the default PushButtons OK, Cancel and Help. Returns the widget name of the dialog.

All the standard dialog options are also supported. To override the default buttons, the options -ok, -cancel, and -help can be used to specify which buttons go in the dialog. If any one of these options is used then it is assumed that only buttons which have been individually specified or referenced via either a label or a callback option will be put in the dialog.

If the user chooses either the OK or Cancel button, the dialog is automatically popped down and destroyed. To override this default use the -autoHide and -autoDestroy options.

Options

-message string (CSG): Specifies the text of the message. Use \n to separate lines.
