- (tk/messagebox ?option value ...?)
- This procedure creates and displays a message window with an application-specified message, an icon and a set of buttons. Each of the buttons in the message window is identified by a unique symbolic name (see the #:type options). After the message window is popped up, tk/messagebox waits for the user to select one of the buttons. Then it returns the symbolic name of the selected button.
The following option-value pairs are supported:
- #:default name
- Name gives the 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 this option is not specified, the first button in the dialog will be made the default.
- #:icon iconImage
- Specifies an icon to display. IconImage must be one of the following: error, info, question or warning. If this option is not specified, then the info icon will be displayed.
- #:message string
- Specifies the message to display in this message box.
- #:parent window
- Makes window the logical parent of the message box. The message box is displayed on top of its parent window.
- #:title titleString
- Specifies a string to display as the title of the message box. The default value is an empty string.
- #:type predefinedType
- Arranges for a predefined set of buttons to be displayed.
The following values are possible for predefinedType:
- abortretryignore
- Displays three buttons whose symbolic names are abort, retry and ignore.
- ok
- Displays one button whose symbolic name is ok.
- okcancel
- Displays two buttons whose symbolic names are ok and cancel.
