VtFormDialog(VTCL)

VtFormDialog -- create form dialog using form class options

Synopsis

VtFormDialog widgetName [options]

Description

Creates a FormDialog, using all the standard ``Form class options'' in Developing Visual Tcl applications. You can specify the buttons across the bottom of the dialog by using the -ok, -okLabel, -okCallback, -cancel, and -help options. The command returns the name of the form dialog. Buttons are created left to right in the following order:

OK APPLY RESET CANCEL HELP

Note that when creating a form, it is advisable to make the form the child of another form. This enables the new form to inherit attributes such as fonts from the dialog it was launched from. (If the form's parent is a button, it cannot inherit such attributes.)

Note also that you should use VtGet(VTCL) to get the widgetName of any of the buttons on the bottom of the form and the option used to get the button. For example, to get the widgetName of the OK button, say:

set okButton [VtGet $form -ok]

For the cancel button, say:

set cancelButton [VtGet $form -cancel]
