tk_messageBox - pops up a message window and waits for user response.
tk_messageBox ?option value ...?
This procedure creates and displays a message window with an
application-specified message, an icon and a set of buttons. Each of
the buttons in the message window is identified by a unique symbolic
name (see the -type options). After the message window is
popped up, tk_messageBox waits for the user to select one of the
buttons. Then it returns the symbolic name of the selected button.
The following option-value pairs are supported:
- -default name
-
Name gives the symbolic name of the default button for
this message window ('ok', 'cancel', and so on). See -type
for a list of the symbolic names. If this option is not specified,
the first button in the dialog will be made the default.
- -icon iconImage
-
Specifies an icon to display. IconImage must be one of the
following: error, info, question or
warning. If this option is not specified, then the info icon will be
displayed.
- -message string

- -parent window
-
Makes window the logical parent of the message box. The message
box is displayed on top of its parent window.
- -title titleString

Specifies a string to display as the title of the message box. The
default value is an empty string.
