The iwidgets::dialog command creates a dialog box providing
    standard buttons and a child site for use in derived classes. The buttons
    include ok, apply, cancel, and help. Methods and Options exist to configure
    the buttons and their containing box.










The iwidgets::dialog command creates a new Tcl command
    whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various
    operations on the widget. It has the following general form:




pathName option ?arg arg ...?




Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
    the command. The following commands are possible for dialog widgets:








add	buttonconfigure	default	hide
index	insert	invoke	show


See the "buttonbox" manual entry for details on the
    above inherited methods.

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      iwidgets::dialog command.

  

  
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
      option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
      options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
      on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
      value, then the command returns a list describing the one named
      option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the
      value returned if no option is specified). If one or more
      option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the
      given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
      command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values
      accepted by the iwidgets::dialog command.
