    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Dialog boxes are a convenient way to prompt the user for a small
    amount of input, e.g. to display a message, ask a question, or anything
    else that does not require extensive effort on the user's part. Dialogs
    are organized as a window split vertically. The top section is a <link
    linkend="class-gtkvbox"><classname>gtk.VBox</classname></link>, and is
    where widgets such as a <link
    linkend="class-gtklabel"><classname>gtk.Label</classname></link> or a
    <link linkend="class-gtkentry"><classname>gtk.Entry</classname></link>
    should be packed. The bottom area is known as the action_area which is
    generally used for packing buttons into the dialog which may perform
    functions such as cancel, ok, or apply. The two areas are separated by a
    <link
    linkend="class-gtkhseparator"><classname>gtk.HSeparator</classname></link>.</para>

    <para>The <link
    linkend="class-gtkdialog"><classname>gtk.Dialog</classname></link> boxes
    are created with a call to <link
    linkend="constructor-gtkdialog"><methodname>gtk.Dialog</methodname></link>()
    that sets the dialog title, some convenient flags, and adds simple
    buttons.  In a newly created dialog, the two primary areas of the window
    can be accessed as the vbox and action_area attributes, as can be seen
    from the example, below.</para>

<programlisting>
import gtk

label = gtk.Label("Nice label")
dialog = gtk.Dialog("My dialog",
                   None,
                   gtk.DIALOG_MODAL | gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                   (gtk.STOCK_CANCEL, gtk.RESPONSE_REJECT,
                    gtk.STOCK_OK, gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT))
dialog.vbox.pack_start(label)
label.show()
checkbox = gtk.CheckButton("Useless checkbox")
dialog.action_area.pack_end(checkbox)
checkbox.show()
response = dialog.run()
dialog.destroy()
</programlisting>

    <para>A modal dialog (that is, one which freezes the
    rest of the application from user input), can be created by passing the
    <literal>gtk.DIALOG_MODAL</literal> flag to the <link
    linkend="constructor-gtkdialog"><methodname>gtk.Dialog</methodname>()</link>
    constructor or by calling <link
    linkend="method-gtkwindow--set-modal"><methodname>set_modal</methodname>()</link>
    on the dialog.</para>

    <para>If you add buttons to <link
    linkend="class-gtkdialog"><classname>gtk.Dialog</classname></link> using
    <link
    linkend="constructor-gtkdialog"><methodname>gtk.Dialog</methodname>()</link>,
    <link
    linkend="method-gtkdialog--add-button"><methodname>add_button</methodname>()</link>,
    or <link
    linkend="method-gtkdialog--add-action-widget"><methodname>add_action_widget</methodname>()</link>,
    clicking the button will emit a signal called "response" with a response
    ID that you specified. PyGTK will never assign a meaning to positive
    response IDs; these are entirely user-defined. But for convenience, you
    can use the pre-defined <xref linkend="gtk-response-type-constants"
    endterm="gtk-response-type-constants-title"></xref> (these all have
    values less than zero).</para>

    <para>If a dialog receives a delete event, the "response" signal will be
    emitted with a response ID of
    <literal>gtk.RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT</literal>.</para>

    <para>If you want to block waiting for a dialog to return before
    returning control flow to your code, you can call <link
    linkend="method-gtkdialog--run"><methodname>run</methodname>()</link>. This
    function enters a recursive main loop and waits for the user to respond
    to the dialog, returning the response ID corresponding to the button the
    user clicked.</para>

    <para>Creates a new <link
    linkend="class-gtkdialog"><classname>gtk.Dialog</classname></link> with the
    title text specified by <parameter>title</parameter> (or
    <literal>None</literal> for the default title; see <link
    linkend="method-gtkwindow--set-title"><methodname>gtk.Window.set_title</methodname>()</link>)
    and transient parent window specified by <parameter>parent</parameter> (or
    <literal>None</literal> for none; see <link
    linkend="method-gtkwindow--set-transient-for"><methodname>gtk.Window.set_transient_for</methodname>()</link>).
    The <parameter>flags</parameter> argument can be used to make the dialog
    modal (<literal>gtk.DIALOG_MODAL</literal>) and/or to have it destroyed
    along with its transient parent
    (<literal>gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT</literal>) and/or remove the
    separator (<literal>gtk.DIALOG_NO_SEPARATOR</literal>) (see the <xref
    linkend="gtk-dialog-flag-constants"
    endterm="gtk-dialog-flag-constants-title"></xref> for more
    information). After <parameter>flags</parameter>, a tuple of button
    text/response ID pairs should be listed, or <literal>None</literal> (the
    default value) if no buttons are needed. The button text can be either a
    stock ID such as <literal>gtk.STOCK_OK</literal>, or some arbitrary text.  A
    response ID can be any positive number, or one of the pre-defined <xref
    linkend="gtk-response-type-constants"
    endterm="gtk-response-type-constants-title"></xref>.</para>

    <para>If the user clicks one of these dialog buttons, the <link
    linkend="class-gtkdialog"><classname>gtk.Dialog</classname></link> will emit
    the "response" signal with the corresponding response ID. If a <link
    linkend="class-gtkdialog"><classname>gtk.Dialog</classname></link> receives
    the "delete_event" signal, it will emit "response" with a response ID of
    <literal>gtk.RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT</literal>. However, destroying a dialog
    does not emit the "response" signal; so be careful relying on "response"
    when using the <literal>gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT</literal> flag.
    Buttons are added from left to right, so the first button in the list will
    be the leftmost button in the dialog.</para>

<para>Here's a simple example:</para>
<programlisting>
  dialog = gtk.Dialog("My dialog",
                     main_app_window,

      <para>The <methodname>run</methodname>() method blocks in a recursive

      the response ID from the "response" signal emission. Before entering the

      <para>The <methodname>set_alternative_button_order</methodname>()
      method sets an alternative button order for the dialog based on the sequence

      <para>By default, GTK+ dialogs use the button order advocated by the
      Gnome Human Interface Guidelines with the affirmative button at the far
      right, and the cancel button left of it. But the builtin GTK+ dialogs and
      <link linkend="class-gtkmessagedialog"><classname>gtk.MessageDialog</classname></link>s
      do provide an alternative button order, which is more suitable on some
      platforms, e.g. Windows.</para>

      as the following example shows:</para>
