Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs(3)

Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs - Useful tools for Gnome2/Gtk2 Perl GUI design.

 use Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs ( destroy_with_parent => TRUE,
                         modal => TRUE,
                         no_separator => FALSE );

 # do some stuff like creating your app's main $window then,
 # to ensure that all messages use the right parent, set it:
 Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_parent_window( $window );

 # now popup a new dialog
 my $r = ask Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question ( "Is Perl only hacker's glue?" );
 if ( $r ) {
   # end-user thinks so
 } else {
   # end-user does not think so
 }

 # now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
 new_and_run
  Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message ( title => "Dialog Title",
                               text => "This is a simple message" );

 # now popup a new dialog ( blocking the main loop if there is one )
 new_and_run
  Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg ( "Simple error message." );

This module provides the Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message, Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg and Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question classes to the main application while setting the initial defaults to those specified upon using Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs.

Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs supports the following options:
title => STRING
The title of the dialog window. Defaults to an empty string.
text => STRING
The text to be displayed. This is the core purpose of the module and is the only mandatory argument.
icon => /path/to/image || stock-id || Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf || Gtk2::Image
The dialog-sized image to place to the left of the text. Note: there are five aliased stock-ids which correspond to the five gtk-dialog-* ids, "warning", "question", "info", "error" and "authentication". Defaults to the stock-id "gtk-dialog-question".
parent_window => Gtk2::Window
Reference to the main application window.
destroy_with_parent => BOOL
When the parent_window is destroyed, what do we do? Defaults to FALSE.
modal => BOOL
Does this message make the parent_window freeze while the message exists. Defaults to FALSE.
no_separator => BOOL
Draw the horizontal separator between the content area and the button area below. Defaults to FALSE.
default_yes => BOOL
Autofocus on the "YES" button. Defaults to FALSE.
must_exist => BOOL
The end-user must supply a path to an existing file or directory. Should the end-user provide a non-existant path, the dialog will be respawned until an existing file is chosen. Defaults to FALSE.

This module provides a "set_" function for all options that takes a signle argument that is then used as the default for all three modules Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Message, Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::ErrorMsg and Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs::Question. For clarity, the function names are as follows:
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_title
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_text
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_icon
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_modal
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_parent_window
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_destroy_with_parent
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_default_yes
Gtk2::Ex::Dialogs->set_must_exist
