Creating the Dialog

Create a Multiple Choice Dialog by calling dialog.multipleChoiceDialog with the four arguments shown in the following table.

Argument	Data type/notes
self	the window (background) that is the parent for the dialog
message	string to be displayed inside the dialog as a prompt for the user
title	string to be displayed in the title bar of the dialog
lst	list of strings containing the choices to be presented to the user

Example:

result = dialog.multipleChoiceDialog(self, "message", "title", 
['one', 'two', 'three'])

Interacting With the Dialog

The multipleChoiceDialog component returns two values, stored as elements of the Python dictionary called "results" returned by all PythonCard dialogs. These results are as shown in the following table.

Name of value	Description
accepted	True = user clicked OK False = user clicked Cancel
selection	list of strings containing the options chosen by the user.

Example:

The sample dialog shown at the top of this page returns the following results:

accepted: True
selection: ('one', 'three')
