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');
