VtErrorDialog


Create an Error dialog box

Syntax

VtErrorDialog object_name [options]

Description

Creates a Message dialog containing an error icon. Returns the widget name.

By default, three PushButtons are displayed in the ErrorDialog; OK, Cancel and Help.

If you use any of the options -ok, -cancel, -help and -apply, only those PushButtons individually specified by these options or referenced via either a label or a callback option are displayed in the ErrorDialog.

If the user chooses either the OK or Cancel button, the dialog is automatically popped down and destroyed. To override this behavior, the -autoHide and -autoDestroy options can be used.

Options

-message string (CSG)
Sets the text of the message (in string). Use \n to separate lines.

Example

The following code produces an Error dialog box containing an example message, an OK button and a Help button.

set app [VtOpen "Error Dialog Demo"]

VtErrorDialog $app.demo -message \
         "This is an example \n of VtErrorDialog" \
         -ok \
         -help

VtShowDialog $app.demo
VtMainLoop

This code produces the following:
