DESCRIPTION

       The  iwidgets::promptdialog  command  creates  a  prompt  dialog similar to the OSF/Motif standard prompt
       dialog composite widget.  The promptdialog is derived  from  the  dialog  class  and  is  composed  of  a
       EntryField with commands to manipulate the dialog buttons.

METHODS

       The iwidgets::promptdialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName.  This command may be
       used to invoke various operations on the widget.  It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg
       arg  ...?   Option  and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following commands are
       possible for promptdialog widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

       pathName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.  Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the iwidgets::promptdialog command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
              Query  or  modify  the  configuration options of the widget.  If no option is specified, returns a
              list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on
              the  format  of this list).  If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list
              describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist  of  the
              value  returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then
              the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given  value(s);   in  this  case  the
              command   returns  an  empty  string.   Option  may  have  any  of  the  values  accepted  by  the
              iwidgets::promptdialog command.
