[Tutor] Dialog box under windows

[Edward Comber]

Thanks very much for that, I'll get stuck into it. At the moment it opens a
Tk main app screen that can't be closed but I'll persist.

Thanks for your help.

Eddie.

import tkMessageBox
tkMessageBox.showinfo(title='window title',
	message='put your message text here')

tkMessageBox contains:

def showinfo(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Show an info message"
    return _show(title, message, INFO, OK, **options)

def showwarning(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Show a warning message"
    return _show(title, message, WARNING, OK, **options)

def showerror(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Show an error message"
    return _show(title, message, ERROR, OK, **options)

def askquestion(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Ask a question"
    return _show(title, message, QUESTION, YESNO, **options)

def askokcancel(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Ask if operation should proceed; return true if the answer is ok"
    s = _show(title, message, QUESTION, OKCANCEL, **options)
    return s == OK

def askyesno(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Ask a question; return true if the answer is yes"
    s = _show(title, message, QUESTION, YESNO, **options)
    return s == YES

def askretrycancel(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Ask if operation should be retried; return true if the answer is yes"
    s = _show(title, message, WARNING, RETRYCANCEL, **options)
    return s == RETRY
