SYNOPSIS
use Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs ( destroy_with_parent => TRUE,
modal => TRUE,
no_separator => FALSE );
# do some stuff like creating your app's main $window then,
# to ensure that all messages use the right parent, set it:
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_parent_window( $window );
# now popup a new dialog
my $r = ask Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question ( "Is Perl only hacker's glue?" );
if ( $r ) {
# end-user thinks so
} else {
# end-user does not think so
}
# now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
new_and_run
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message ( title => "Dialog Title",
text => "This is a simple message" );
# now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
new_and_run
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg ( "Simple error message." );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides the Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message,
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg and Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question classes to
the main application while setting the initial defaults to those
specified upon using Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs.
OPTIONSGtk2::Ex::Dialogs supports the following options:
title => STRING
The title of the dialog window. Defaults to an empty string.
text => STRING
The text to be displayed. This is the core purpose of the module
and is the only mandatory argument.
icon => /path/to/image || stock-id || Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf || Gtk2::Image
The dialog-sized image to place to the left of the text. Note:
there are five aliased stock-ids which correspond to the five
gtk-dialog-* ids, "warning", "question", "info", "error" and
"authentication". Defaults to the stock-id "gtk-dialog-question".
parent_window => Gtk2::Window
Reference to the main application window.
destroy_with_parent => BOOL
When the parent_window is destroyed, what do we do? Defaults to
FALSE.
modal => BOOL
Does this message make the parent_window freeze while the message
exists. Defaults to FALSE.
no_separator => BOOL
Draw the horizontal separator between the content area and the
button area below. Defaults to FALSE.
default_yes => BOOL
Autofocus on the "YES" button. Defaults to FALSE.
must_exist => BOOL
The end-user must supply a path to an existing file or directory.
Should the end-user provide a non-existant path, the dialog will be
respawned until an existing file is chosen. Defaults to FALSE.
FUNCTIONS
This module provides a "set_" function for all options that takes a
signle argument that is then used as the default for all three modules
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message, Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg and
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question. For clarity, the function names are as
follows:
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_title
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_text
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_icon
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_modal
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_parent_window
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_destroy_with_parent
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_default_yes
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_must_exist
