Greetings fellow monkeys,
I am developing a small app in Perl/Tk under win32, and need to make my own dialog boxes. I would like to use the standard os-specific dialog icon's (error, info, question, warning), as provided by:
MainWindow->new->messageBox( -icon => '<type>' );
(not MainWindow->new->Dialog( -bitmap => '<type>' )->Show; - this uses Tk's builtin bitmaps, although both are the same on linux).
I've trawled through the docco, web, pm, Mastering Perl/Tk, and the source, without much luck in finding any clues on how to display these myself. Can anyone help? Here are a couple of hints to get you started:
messageBox() is defined in site\lib\Tk.pm, and calls MessageBox(), which references site\lib\Tk\Dialog.pm, which references site\lib\Tk\DialogBox.pm (which is a TopLevel).
If you specify anything other than the 4 defined -icon's, you get a
invalid icon "<type>", must be error, info, question or warning at C:/
+Perl/site/lib/Tk.pm line 266.
which apparently comes from site\lib\auto\Tk\Tk.dll.
Many thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
