.SH NAME
Tk::messageBox  \-  pop up a message window and wait for user response.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\ \ \ \ \fR\f(CI$response\fR\fI\fR = \fI\fR\f(CI$widget\fR\fI\fR\->\fBmessageBox\fR(\fI\-option\fR => \fIvalue\fR, ... );
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This method uses Tk::Dialog to quickly create several
common dialog boxes. A dialog widget consists of a message, an icon
and a set of buttons (see the \fI\-type\fR option). After the message
window is popped up, \fBmessageBox\fR waits for the user to select one of
the buttons and return the button text (note that it\*(Aqs best to check the
returned value in a case insensitive manner). NOTE: unlike
\&\fBTk::Dialog\fR which creates its widget once and can be used many
times, the \fBmessageBox\fR window is created every time it\*(Aqs used.
.PP
The following option/value pairs are supported:
.IP \fB\-default\fR 4
.IX Item "-default"
The case\-sensitive symbolic name of the default button
for this message window  (\*(AqOk\*(Aq,  \*(AqCancel\*(Aq  and  so
on).  See  \fB\-type\fR  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\*(Aqt  be  any
default button.
.IP \fB\-icon\fR 4
.IX Item "-icon"
Specifies an icon to display. On X11 any of the builtin Tk bitmaps can
specified. On Windows only \fBerror\fR, \fBinfo\fR, \fBquestion\fR or
\&\fBwarning\fR are supported.
.IP \fB\-message\fR 4
.IX Item "-message"
Specifies the message to display.
.IP \fB\-title\fR 4
.IX Item "-title"
Specifies  a  string to display as the title.
.IP \fB\-type\fR 4
.IX Item "-type"
Specifies a predefined set of buttons to be displayed. The following
values are possible: \*(AqAbortRetryIgnore\*(Aq, \*(AqOk\*(Aq, \*(AqOkCancel\*(Aq,
\&\*(AqRetryCancel\*(Aq, \*(AqYesNo\*(Aq or \*(AqYesNoCancel\*(Aq.
