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.
METHODS
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:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
iwidgets::dialog command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
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.
