iwidgets::promptdialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name
is

the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the
args determine the exact behavior of the command.

- 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.
COMPONENTS¶
Name: prompt
Class: Entryfield
- The prompt component is the entry field for user input in
the prompt dialog. See the "entryfield" widget manual entry for
details on the prompt component item.
