# A modal dialog. Note that the message is a printf-style format.

'yes-no', # which set of buttons?
"Pay me $%.2f?", $amount);

#
# A non-modal dialog.
#
$dialog = Gtk2::MessageDialog->new ($main_application_window,
'destroy-with-parent',
'question', # message type
'ok-cancel', # which set of buttons?
"Self-destruct now?");
# react whenever the user responds.

DESCRIPTIONGtk2::MessageDialog is a dialog with an image representing the type of
message (Error, Question, etc.) alongside some message text. It's
simply a convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of
Gtk2::MessageDialog from Gtk2::Dialog without too much effort, but
Gtk2::MessageDialog saves typing and helps create a consistent look and
feel for your application.
The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use "$dialog->run",
which automatically makes your dialog modal and waits for the user to
respond to it. You can also pass in the GTK_DIALOG_MODAL flag when
creating the MessageDialog.
