Dialogs

Dialogs

Dialog boxes are child widgets that appear in their own window when managed. They are usually modeless: interactions continue with other visible widgets while the dialog is active.

Tcl Motif does support modal style, which forces the user to interact with the dialog. Select modal style by setting the dialogStyle resource to dialog_full_application_modal. This style stops when the dialog disappears, typically after the user clicks a button.
