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.
