| 27 | <p> | |
| 28 | A text dialog is a dialog window which displays a text message to | |
| 29 | the user along with one or more buttons to press.</p> | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | <p></p> | |
| 32 | ||

| 35 | <dt> <h3>Options</h3></dt><dd> | |
| 36 | Options for this megawidget and its base | |
| 37 | classes are described below.<p></p> | |
| 38 | <a name=option.activatecommand></a> | |
| 39 | <dl><dt> <strong>activatecommand | |
| 40 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 41 | If this is callable, it will be called whenever the megawidget is | |
| 42 | activated by a call to <code>activate()</code>. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p> | |

| 46 | <a name=option.borderx></a> | |
| 47 | <dl><dt> <strong>borderx | |
| 48 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 49 | Initialisation option. The padding to the left and right of the scrolled text. The default is <strong>10</strong>.</p> | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | ||
| 52 | </dd></dl> | |
| 53 | <a name=option.bordery></a> | |
| 54 | <dl><dt> <strong>bordery | |
| 55 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 56 | Initialisation option. The padding above and below the scrolled text. The default is <strong>10</strong>.</p> | |

| 60 | <a name=option.buttonboxpos></a> | |
| 61 | <dl><dt> <strong>buttonboxpos | |
| 62 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 63 | Initialisation option. Specifies on which side of the dialog window to place the button | |
| 64 | box. Must be one of <strong>'n'</strong>, <strong>'s'</strong>, <strong>'e'</strong> or <strong>'w'</strong>. The default is <strong>'s'</strong>.</p> | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | ||
| 67 | </dd></dl> | |
| 68 | <a name=option.buttons></a> | |
| 69 | <dl><dt> <strong>buttons | |
| 70 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 71 | This must be a tuple or a list and specifies the names on the | |
| 72 | buttons in the button box. The default is <strong>('OK',)</strong>.</p> | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | ||
| 75 | </dd></dl> | |
| 76 | <a name=option.command></a> | |
| 77 | <dl><dt> <strong>command | |
| 78 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 79 | Specifies a function to call whenever a button in the button box | |
| 80 | is invoked or the window is deleted by the window manager. The | |
| 81 | function is called with a single argument, which is the name of | |
| 82 | the button which was invoked, or <strong>None</strong> if the window was deleted | |
| 83 | by the window manager.</p> | |
| 84 | <p> If the value of <strong>command</strong> is not callable, the default behaviour | |
| 85 | is to deactivate the window if it is active, or withdraw the | |
| 86 | window if it is not active. If it is deactivated, <code>deactivate()</code> | |
| 87 | is called with the button name or <strong>None</strong> as described above. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p> | |

| 93 | <dl><dt> <strong>deactivatecommand | |

| 100 | <a name=option.defaultbutton></a> | |
| 101 | <dl><dt> <strong>defaultbutton | |
| 102 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 103 | Specifies the default button in the button box. If the <strong><Return></strong> | |
| 104 | key is hit when the dialog has focus, the default button will be | |
| 105 | invoked. If <strong>defaultbutton</strong> is <strong>None</strong>, there will be no default | |
| 106 | button and hitting the <strong><Return></strong> key will have no effect. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p> | |
| 107 | ||
| 108 | ||
| 109 | </dd></dl> | |
| 110 | <a name=option.master></a> | |
| 111 | <dl><dt> <strong>master | |
| 112 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 113 | This is used by the <code>activate()</code> method to control whether the | |
| 114 | window is made <em>transient</em> during modal dialogs. See the | |
| 115 | <code>activate()</code> method. The default is <strong>'parent'</strong>.</p> | |

| 119 | <a name=option.separatorwidth></a> | |
| 120 | <dl><dt> <strong>separatorwidth | |
| 121 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 122 | Initialisation option. If this is greater than <strong>0</strong>, a separator line with the specified | |
| 123 | width will be created between the button box and the child site, | |
| 124 | as a component named <strong>separator</strong>. Since the default border of the | |
| 125 | button box and child site is <strong>raised</strong>, this option does not | |
| 126 | usually need to be set for there to be a visual separation between | |
| 127 | the button box and child site. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p> | |
| 128 | ||

| 131 | <a name=option.title></a> | |
| 132 | <dl><dt> <strong>title | |

| 141 | Components created by this megawidget and its base | |
| 142 | classes are described below.<p></p> | |
| 143 | <a name=component.buttonbox></a> | |
| 144 | <dl><dt> <strong>buttonbox | |
| 145 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 146 | This is the button box containing the buttons for the dialog. By | |
| 147 | default it is created with the options | |
| 148 | <code>(hull_borderwidth = 1, hull_relief = 'raised')</code>. By default, this component is a <a href="ButtonBox.html">Pmw.ButtonBox</a>.</p> | |
| 149 | ||
| 150 | ||
| 151 | </dd></dl> | |
| 152 | <a name=component.dialogchildsite></a> | |
| 153 | <dl><dt> <strong>dialogchildsite | |
| 154 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 155 | This is the child site for the dialog, which may be used to | |
| 156 | specialise the megawidget by creating other widgets within it. By | |
| 157 | default it is created with the options | |
| 158 | <code>(borderwidth = 1, relief = 'raised')</code>. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.</p> | |
| 159 | ||
| 160 | ||
| 161 | </dd></dl> | |
| 162 | <a name=component.hull></a> | |
| 163 | <dl><dt> <strong>hull | |
| 164 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 165 | This acts as the body for the entire megawidget. Other components | |
| 166 | are created as children of the hull to further specialise this | |
| 167 | class. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Toplevel.</p> | |
| 168 | ||
| 169 | ||
| 170 | </dd></dl> | |
| 171 | <a name=component.scrolledtext></a> | |
| 172 | <dl><dt> <strong>scrolledtext | |
| 173 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 174 | The scrolled text to contain the text for the dialog. By default, this component is a <a href="ScrolledText.html">Pmw.ScrolledText</a>.</p> | |
| 175 | ||
| 176 | ||
| 177 | </dd></dl> | |
| 178 | <a name=component.separator></a> | |
| 179 | <dl><dt> <strong>separator | |
| 180 | </strong></dt><dd> | |
| 181 | If the <strong>separatorwidth</strong> initialisation option is non-zero, the | |
| 182 | <strong>separator</strong> component is the line dividing the area between the | |
| 183 | button box and the child site. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.</p> | |

| 201 | <dt> <h3>Methods</h3></dt><dd> | |
| 202 | Only methods specific to this megawidget are described below. | |
| 203 | For a description of its inherited methods, see the | |
| 204 | manual for its base class | |
| 205 | <strong><a href="Dialog.html#methods">Pmw.Dialog</a></strong>. | |
| 206 | In addition, methods from the | |
| 207 | <strong><a href="ScrolledText.html#methods">Pmw.ScrolledText</a></strong> class | |
| 208 | are forwarded by this megawidget to the | |
| 209 | <strong>scrolledtext</strong> component. | |
| 210 | <p></p> | |
| 211 | <a name=method.bbox></a> | |
| 212 | <dl><dt> <strong>bbox</strong>(<em>index</em>)</dt><dd> | |
| 213 | This method is explicitly forwarded to the <strong>text</strong> component's | |
| 214 | <code>bbox()</code> method. Without this explicit forwarding, the <code>bbox()</code> | |
| 215 | method (aliased to <code>grid_bbox()</code>) of the <strong>hull</strong> would be invoked, | |
| 216 | which is probably not what the programmer intended.</p> | |
