       Name:           image
       Class:          Label

              The image component is the bitmap or image of the message dialog.  See the "label"  widget  manual
              entry for details on the image component item.

       Name:           message
       Class:          Label

              The  message component provides the textual portion of the message dialog.  See the "label" widget
              manual entry for details on the message component item.

       The  iwidgets::messagedialog  command  creates  a  message dialog composite widget.  The messagedialog is
       derived from the Dialog class and is composed of an image and associated message text  with  commands  to
       manipulate the dialog buttons.

       The  iwidgets::messagedialog  command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName.  This command may
       be used to invoke various operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:  pathNameoption
       ?argarg...?  Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.  The following commands
       are possible for messagedialog widgets:

       See the "options" manual entry for details on the standard options.

iwidgets::messagedialogpathName ?options?

pathNamecgetoption
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.  Option may have any of the
              values accepted by the iwidgets::messagedialog command.

       pathNameconfigure ?option? ?valueoptionvalue...?
              Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no option  is  specified,  returns  a
              list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on
              the  format  of this list).  If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list
              describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist  of  the
              value  returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then
              the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given  value(s);   in  this  case  the
              command   returns  an  empty  string.   Option  may  have  any  of  the  values  accepted  by  the
              iwidgets::messagedialog command.
