xmMessageBox

This example shows the use of an xmMessageBox with custom pixmap face, which is taken from an external file:

#! /usr/sgitcl/bin/moat 
xtAppInitialize
xmMessageBox .top managed \
    -messageString {Hello world!} \
    -symbolPixmap /usr/share/src/sgitcl/face
. realizeWidget
. mainLoop

Figure 4-13 : xmMessageBox With Pixmap A message box is a composite widget whose component children might be managed or unmanaged. Child widgets can be included or eliminated using the Tcl Motif commands manageChild and unmanageChild applied on the automatically-derived child widgets. With a message box named mw, these are the standard child widgets:

    mw.Cancel    mw.Help        mw.Message
    mw.OK        mw.Separator   mw.Symbol

#! /usr/sgitcl/bin/moat 
xtAppInitialize
xmMessageBox .mb managed -messageString {Hello world!} \
    -symbolPixmap /usr/share/src/sgitcl/face
foreach child {Cancel Help Separator} {
   .mb.$child unmanageChild
}
. realizeWidget
. mainLoop
