NAME
       Tk::DialogBox - create and manipulate a dialog screen.

SYNOPSIS
	   use Tk::DialogBox
	   ...
	   $d = $top->DialogBox(-title => "Title", -buttons => ["OK", "Cancel"]);
	   $w = $d->add(Widget, args)->pack;
	   ...
	   $button = $d->Show;

DESCRIPTION
       DialogBox is very similar to Dialog except that it allows any widget in
       the top Frame. DialogBox creates two Frames, top and bottom. The bottom
       Frame shows all the specified Buttons, lined up from left to right. The
       top Frame acts as a container for all other widgets that can be added
       with the add() method.

OPTIONS
       The options recognized by DialogBox are as follows:

       -title
	   Specify the title of the DialogBox. If this is not set, then the
	   name of the program is used.

       -buttons
	   The button names to display in the bottom Frame. This is a
	   reference to an array of strings containing the text to put on each
	   Button. There is no default value for this. If you do not specify
	   any button names, no Buttons are displayed.

       -default_button
	   Specifies the default Button that is considered invoked when user
	   presses <Return> on the DialogBox. This Button is highlighted. If
	   no default Button is specified, then the first element of the array
	   whose reference is passed to the -buttons option is used as the
	   default.

       -cancel_button
	   Specifies the Button that is considered invoked when the user
	   closes the DialogBox using the window manager's close button. If
	   the -cancel_button option is not given, and if there's only one
	   button configured, then this button is also used as the cancel
	   button.  Otherwise no button is considered as the cancel button; in
	   such a case Show just returns "undef" when the user closes the
	   DialogBox.

       -command
	   A callback which is executed after invoking an action to close the
	   DialogBox, but before restoring focus and grab information. The
	   selected button is passed as the first argument.

       -focus
	   Specify the widget to receive the initial focus after popping up
	   the DialogBox. By default the -default_button widget receives the
	   initial focus.

       -showcommand
	   A callback which is executed before displaying the DialogBox and
	   waiting for user input. The DialogBox itself is passed as the first
	   argument.

METHODS
       DialogBox supports only two methods as of now:

       add(widget, options)
	   Add the widget indicated by widget. Widget can be the name of any
	   Tk widget (standard or contributed). options are the options that
	   the widget accepts. The widget is advertized as a subwidget of
	   DialogBox. The name of widget is lower-cased and used as the
	   advertised name. If multiple instances of widget are created in the
	   DialogBox, then only the last one gets the advertised name. add()
	   does not automatically pack() or grid() widget into the DialogBox.

       Show(?-global?)
	   Displays the Dialog until the user invokes one of the Buttons in
	   the bottom Frame. If the grab type -global is specified, then Show
	   uses that grab; otherwise it defaults to a local grab. Returns the
	   name of the Button invoked.

	   The actual Dialog is shown using the Popup method. Any other
	   options supplied to Show are passed to Popup, and can be used to
	   position the Dialog on the screen. Please read Tk::Popup for
	   details.

       Exit()
	   Close the dialogbox, by emulating a click on the default button.

ADVERTISED WIDGETS
       top The subwidget reference to the top half of the DialogBox widget,
	   the Frame containing widgets added by the add method.

       bottom
	   The subwidget reference to the bottom half of the DialogBox widget,
	   the Frame containing the Button widgets.

       B_"button-text"
	   Individual subwidget references to the Buttons in the DialogBox
	   widget. The subwidget name is the string B_ concatenated with the
	   Button's -text value.

BUGS
       There is no way of removing a widget once it has been added to the top
       Frame, unless you access the top subwidget and go through the child
       widgets.

       There is no control over the appearance of the Buttons in the bottom
       Frame nor is there any way to control the placement of the two Frames
       with respect to each other.
