NAME

       Tk::messageBox  -  pop up a message window and wait for user response.

SYNOPSIS

           $response = $widget->messageBox(-option => value, ... );

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 -type option). After the
       message window is popped up, messageBox waits for the user to select one of the buttons
       and return the button text (note that it's best to check the returned value in a case
       insensitive manner). NOTE: unlike Tk::Dialog which creates its widget once and can be used
       many times, the messageBox window is created every time it's used.

       The following option/value pairs are supported:

       -default
           The case-sensitive 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
           Specifies an icon to display. On X11 any of the builtin Tk bitmaps can specified. On
           Windows only error, info, question or warning are supported.

       -message
           Specifies the message to display.

       -title
           Specifies  a  string to display as the title.

       -type
           Specifies a predefined set of buttons to be displayed. The following values are
           possible: 'AbortRetryIgnore', 'Ok', 'OkCancel', 'RetryCancel', 'YesNo' or
           'YesNoCancel'.

EXAMPLE

       $response = $mw->messageBox(-icon => 'question', -message => 'Hello World!', -title => 'My
       title', -type => 'AbortRetryIgnore', -default => 'Retry');
