<h2>Creating the Dialog</h2>
Create a Multiple Choice Dialog by calling dialog.multipleChoiceDialog
with the arguments shown in the following table.<br>
<br>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" width="50%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>Argument</b><br>
</td>
<td valign="top"><b>Data type/notes</b><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">self<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">the window (background) that is the parent
for the dialog<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">message<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">quoted string displayed inside dialog box as
prompt for user input<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">title<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">quoted string displayed in title bar of dialog<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">lst<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">list of values representing contents of dialog
choice list<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<b>Example:<br>
<br>
</b>Above dialog was created with this line of code:<br>
<br>
<code> result = dialog.singleChoiceDialog(self, "message", "title",
['one', 'two', 'three'])<br>
</code> <br>
<h2>Interacting With the Dialog</h2>
The singleChoiceDialog 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.<br>
<br>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" width="50%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>Name of value</b><br>
</td>
<td valign="top"><b>Description</b><br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">accepted<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">True = user clicked OK<br>
False = user clicked Cancel<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">selection<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">string containing the list element selected
by the user<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<b>Example:<br>
<br>
</b> The sample dialog shown at the top of this page returns the following
results:<b><br>
<br>
</b>accepted: True<br>
selection: three<br>
<br>
