NAME

Tk::TextDialog - Dialog widget with text entry.

SYNOPSIS

  use Tk;
  use Tk::TextDialog;

  $d = $w -> TextDialog ( -font => [-family=>'helvetica',-size=>12, -weight=>'normal'],
                           -title => 'Text Entry',
                           -textlabel => 'Please enter your text:');
  $d -> WaitForInput;
  $d -> destroy;

DESCRIPTION

  The -font option defaults to helvetica 12

  The -textlabel option prints the text of its argument in label above
  the text entry box.

  After WaitForInput is called, clicking on the 'Accept' button closes the dialog
  and returns the text in the entry box.

  The WaitForInput method does not destroy the dialog window.  Instead 
  WaitForInput unmaps the dialog box from the display.  To de-allocate 
  the widget, you must explicitly call $w -> destroy or $w -> DESTROY.

  Refer to the Tk::options man page for a description of options 
  common to all Perl/Tk widgets.

  Example:

    use Tk;
    use Tk::TextDialog;

    my $w = new MainWindow;

    my $b = $w -> Button (-text => 'Dialog',
                          -command => sub{&show_dialog($w)}) -> pack;

    sub show_dialog {
        my ($w) = @_;
        my $e;
        if (not defined $e) {
            $e = $w -> TextDialog (-title => 'Enter Text', -height=>5, -width=>20); # Height and width of the text box
        $e -> configure (-textlabel => 'Please enter your text:');
        }
        my $resp = $e -> WaitForInput;
        print "$resp\n";
        $e -> configure (-textlabel => '');
        my $resp = $e -> WaitForInput;
        print "$resp\n";
        return $resp;
    }

    MainLoop;
