The dialog table You can use the dialog prefix to create a dialog table called name in a script using this format:
dialog [-l] name { title "text" icon filename, index size x y w h option type (dbu, pixels, notheme) text "text", id, x y w h, style (right, center, nowrap) edit "text", id, x y w h, style (right, center, multi, pass, read, return, hsbar, vsbar, autohs, autovs, limit N) button "text", id, x y w h, style (default, ok, cancel, flat, multi) check "text", id, x y w h, style (left, push, 3state) radio "text", id, x y w h, style (left, push) box "text", id, x y w h, style scroll "text", id, x y w h, style (top left bottom right horizontal range N N) list id, x y w h, style (sort, extsel, multsel, size, vsbar, hsbar, check, radio) combo id, x y w h, style (sort, edit, drop, size, vsbar, hsbar) icon id, x y w h, filename, index, style (noborder top left bottom right small large actual) link "text", id, x y w h tab "text", id, x y w h tab "text", id menu "text", menuid [, menuid] item "text", id [, menuid] item break, id [, menuid] }
The -l switch makes a dialog table local, so that it can only be accessed by other scripts in the same file.
