NAME

Tk::TextDialog - Dialog widget with text entry.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Tk;
use Tk::TextDialog;
$d = $w -> TextDialog ( -font => [-family=>'helvetica',-size=>12, -weight=>'normal'],
           -title => 'Text Entry',
           -textlabel => 'Please enter your text:');
$d -> WaitForInput;
$d -> destroy;
            
          

DESCRIPTION

            

              
              
 The -font option defaults to helvetica 12
 The -textlabel option prints the text of its argument in label above
 the text entry box.
 After WaitForInput is called, clicking on the 'Accept' button closes the dialog
 and returns the text in the entry box.
 The WaitForInput method does not destroy the dialog window.  Instead 
 WaitForInput unmaps the dialog box from the display.  To de-allocate 
 the widget, you must explicitly call $w -> destroy or $w -> DESTROY.
 Refer to the Tk::options man page for a description of options 
 common to all Perl/Tk widgets.
 Example:
   use Tk;
   use Tk::TextDialog;
   my $w = new MainWindow;
   my $b = $w -> Button (-text => 'Dialog',
                         -command => sub{&show_dialog($w)}) -> pack;
   sub show_dialog {
       my ($w) = @_;
       my $e;
       if (not defined $e) {
    $e = $w -> TextDialog (-title => 'Enter Text', -height=>5, -width=>20); # Height and width of the text box
       $e -> configure (-textlabel => 'Please enter your text:');
       }
       my $resp = $e -> WaitForInput;
print "$resp\n";
$e -> configure (-textlabel => '');
my $resp = $e -> WaitForInput;
print "$resp\n";
       return $resp;
   }
   MainLoop;
