For instance: + +.. code:: python + + from prompt_toolkit.shortcuts import message_dialog + + message_dialog( + title='Example dialog window', + text='Do you want to continue?\nPress ENTER to quit.').run() + +.. image:: ../images/dialogs/messagebox.png + + +Input box +--------- + +The :func:`~prompt_toolkit.shortcuts.input_dialog` function can display an +input box.

Buttons are indicated as a list of tuples, +each providing the label (first) and return value if clicked (second). + +.. code:: python + + from prompt_toolkit.shortcuts import button_dialog + + result = button_dialog( + title='Button dialog example', + text='Do you want to confirm?', + buttons=[ + ('Yes', True), + ('No', False), + ('Maybe...', None) + ], + ).run() + +.. image:: ../images/dialogs/button.png + + +Radio list dialog +----------------- + +The :func:`~prompt_toolkit.shortcuts.radiolist_dialog` function displays a dialog +with choices offered as a radio list.
