<dl>
<dt> <h3>Name</h3></dt><dd>
<p>Pmw.TextDialog() -
a dialog displaying a scrolled text
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <h3>Inherits</h3></dt><dd>
<a href="Dialog.html">Pmw.Dialog</a><br>
</dd>
<dt> <h3>Description</h3></dt><dd>
<p>
A text dialog is a dialog window which displays a text message to
the user along with one or more buttons to press.</p>
<p></p>
</dd>
<dt> <h3>Options</h3></dt><dd>
Options for this megawidget and its base
classes are described below.<p></p>
<a name=option.activatecommand></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>activatecommand
</strong></dt><dd>
If this is callable, it will be called whenever the megawidget is
activated by a call to <code>activate()</code>. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.borderx></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>borderx
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. The padding to the left and right of the scrolled text. The default is <strong>10</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.bordery></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>bordery
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. The padding above and below the scrolled text. The default is <strong>10</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.buttonboxpos></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>buttonboxpos
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. Specifies on which side of the dialog window to place the button
box. Must be one of <strong>'n'</strong>, <strong>'s'</strong>, <strong>'e'</strong> or <strong>'w'</strong>. The default is <strong>'s'</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.buttons></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>buttons
</strong></dt><dd>
This must be a tuple or a list and specifies the names on the
buttons in the button box. The default is <strong>('OK',)</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.command></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>command
</strong></dt><dd>
Specifies a function to call whenever a button in the button box
is invoked or the window is deleted by the window manager. The
function is called with a single argument, which is the name of
the button which was invoked, or <strong>None</strong> if the window was deleted
by the window manager.</p>
<p> If the value of <strong>command</strong> is not callable, the default behaviour
is to deactivate the window if it is active, or withdraw the
window if it is not active. If it is deactivated, <code>deactivate()</code>
is called with the button name or <strong>None</strong> as described above. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.deactivatecommand></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>deactivatecommand
</strong></dt><dd>
If this is callable, it will be called whenever the megawidget is
deactivated by a call to <code>deactivate()</code>. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.defaultbutton></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>defaultbutton
</strong></dt><dd>
Specifies the default button in the button box. If the <strong><Return></strong>
key is hit when the dialog has focus, the default button will be
invoked. If <strong>defaultbutton</strong> is <strong>None</strong>, there will be no default
button and hitting the <strong><Return></strong> key will have no effect. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.master></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>master
</strong></dt><dd>
This is used by the <code>activate()</code> method to control whether the
window is made <em>transient</em> during modal dialogs. See the
<code>activate()</code> method. The default is <strong>'parent'</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.separatorwidth></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>separatorwidth
</strong></dt><dd>
Initialisation option. If this is greater than <strong>0</strong>, a separator line with the specified
width will be created between the button box and the child site,
as a component named <strong>separator</strong>. Since the default border of the
button box and child site is <strong>raised</strong>, this option does not
usually need to be set for there to be a visual separation between
the button box and child site. The default is <strong>0</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=option.title></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>title
</strong></dt><dd>
This is the title that the window manager displays in the title
bar of the window. The default is <strong>None</strong>.</p>
</dd></dl>
</dd>
<dt> <h3>Components</h3></dt><dd>
Components created by this megawidget and its base
classes are described below.<p></p>
<a name=component.buttonbox></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>buttonbox
</strong></dt><dd>
This is the button box containing the buttons for the dialog. By
default it is created with the options
<code>(hull_borderwidth = 1, hull_relief = 'raised')</code>. By default, this component is a <a href="ButtonBox.html">Pmw.ButtonBox</a>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=component.dialogchildsite></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>dialogchildsite
</strong></dt><dd>
This is the child site for the dialog, which may be used to
specialise the megawidget by creating other widgets within it. By
default it is created with the options
<code>(borderwidth = 1, relief = 'raised')</code>. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=component.hull></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>hull
</strong></dt><dd>
This acts as the body for the entire megawidget. Other components
are created as children of the hull to further specialise this
class. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Toplevel.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=component.scrolledtext></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>scrolledtext
</strong></dt><dd>
The scrolled text to contain the text for the dialog. By default, this component is a <a href="ScrolledText.html">Pmw.ScrolledText</a>.</p>
</dd></dl>
<a name=component.separator></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>separator
</strong></dt><dd>
If the <strong>separatorwidth</strong> initialisation option is non-zero, the
<strong>separator</strong> component is the line dividing the area between the
button box and the child site. By default, this component is a Tkinter.Frame.</p>
</dd></dl>
</dd>
<dt> <h3>Component aliases</h3></dt><dd>
Sub-components of components of this megawidget
may be accessed via the following aliases.<p></p>
<dl><dt> <strong>label
</strong></dt><dd>
Alias for <strong>scrolledtext_label</strong>.
</dd></dl>
<dl><dt> <strong>text
</strong></dt><dd>
Alias for <strong>scrolledtext_text</strong>.
</dd></dl>
</dd>
<a name=methods></a>
<dt> <h3>Methods</h3></dt><dd>
Only methods specific to this megawidget are described below.
For a description of its inherited methods, see the
manual for its base class
<strong><a href="Dialog.html#methods">Pmw.Dialog</a></strong>.
In addition, methods from the
<strong><a href="ScrolledText.html#methods">Pmw.ScrolledText</a></strong> class
are forwarded by this megawidget to the
<strong>scrolledtext</strong> component.
<p></p>
<a name=method.bbox></a>
<dl><dt> <strong>bbox</strong>(<em>index</em>)</dt><dd>
This method is explicitly forwarded to the <strong>text</strong> component's
<code>bbox()</code> method. Without this explicit forwarding, the <code>bbox()</code>
method (aliased to <code>grid_bbox()</code>) of the <strong>hull</strong> would be invoked,
which is probably not what the programmer intended.</p>
