XmCreatePromptDialog(Xm)


XmCreatePromptDialog -- the SelectionBox PromptDialog convenience creation function

Syntax

#include <Xm/SelectioB.h>

Widget XmCreatePromptDialog (parent, name, arglist, argcount) Widget parent; String name; ArgList arglist; Cardinal argcount;

Description

XmCreatePromptDialog is a convenience creation function that creates a DialogShell and an unmanaged SelectionBox child of the DialogShell. A PromptDialog prompts the user for text input. It includes a message, a text input region, and three managed buttons. The default button labels are ``OK'', ``Cancel'', and ``Help''. An additional button, with ``Apply'' as the default label, is created unmanaged; it may be explicitly managed if needed. One additional WorkArea child may be added to the SelectionBox after creation.

XmCreatePromptDialog forces the value of the SelectionBox resource XmNdialogType to XmDIALOG_PROMPT.

Use XtManageChild to pop up the PromptDialog (passing the SelectionBox as the widget parameter); use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down.
