DESCRIPTION
       Curses::UI::Dialog::Question is a basic question dialog. This type of
       dialog has a message on it, a TextEntry answer box, and one or more
       buttons. It can be used to have a user enter some answer in response to
       a question.

       See exampes/demo-widgets in the distribution for a short demo.

OPTIONS
       o   -title < TEXT >

           Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

       o   -question < TEXT >

           This option sets the question to show to TEXT. The text may contain
           newline (\n) characters.

       o   -buttons < ARRAYREF >

       o   -selected < INDEX >

       o   -buttonalignment < VALUE >

           These options sets the buttons that have to be used. For an
           explanation of these options, see the Curses::UI::Buttonbox
           documentation.

METHODS
       o   new ( HASH )

       o   layout ( )

       o   draw ( BOOLEAN )

       o   focus ( )

           These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an
           explanation of these.

       o   get ( )

           This method will call get on the TextEntry object of the dialog and
           return its returnvalue. See Curses::UI::TextEntry for more
           information on this.  If the cancel button was pressed, the return
           value will be undef.
