DETAILS
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
ede-dialog started as 'edialog', initially written by Vedran Ljubovic in 2005 and had been planned to support
|
||
|
|
'kdialog' (similar dialog tool from KDE) options. 'edialog' was never finished so I (Sanel) took it and rewrote
|
||
|
|
it, using subset of 'kdialog' options, mostly as inspiration for command line names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Knowing this, ede-dialog does not support additional GUI elements like menus, checkboxes and such: it is meant to
|
||
|
|
be used for quick handling from shell scripts; anything advanced from that should use straight C++ and FLTK/edelib
|
||
|
|
combination.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, return values will emulate those from 'kdialog'. For example, if you use '--yesnocancel' option, ede-dialog
|
||
|
|
will show text with three buttons: 'Yes', 'No' and 'Cancel'. Clicking on 'Yes' will return 0 so it can be picked
|
||
|
|
by shell script. Similar, pressing on 'No' will return 1 and on 'Cancel' will return 2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On other hand, using '--yesno' will show two buttons, 'Yes' and 'No' and pressing on 'Yes' yields 0 and on 'No'
|
||
|
|
yields 1. Dialogs with only one button (those with '--error', '--sorry' and '--msgbox') always returns 0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Input dialogs ('--inputbox' and '--password') prints inserted value to stdout, allowing easy redirection from
|
||
|
|
shell. Both dialogs provides 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons, returning 0 if 'OK' was pressed or 1 if 'Cancel' was pressed.
