Curses::UI::Dialog::Question is a basic question dialog. This type of dialog has a message on it, a TextEntry answer box, and one or more buttons. It can be used to have a user enter some answer in response to a question.
See exampes/demo-widgets in the distribution for a short demo.
Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.
This option sets the question to show to TEXT. The text may contain newline (\n) characters.
These options sets the buttons that have to be used. For an explanation of these options, see the Curses::UI::Buttonbox documentation.
These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.
This method will call get on the TextEntry object of the dialog and return its returnvalue. See Curses::UI::TextEntry for more information on this. If the cancel button was pressed, the return value will be undef.
