The returned value is calculated this way::
if the first choice is chosen, or if the dialog is cancelled:
returns 1
else:
returns 0
- buttonbox(msg='', title=' ', choices=('Button1', 'Button2', 'Button3'), image=None)

else:
sys.exit(0) # exit the program
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.

- diropenbox(msg=None, title=None, default=None)
- A dialog to get a directory name.
Note that the msg argument, if specified, is ignored.

- Show a box in which a user can enter some text.
You may optionally specify some default text, which will appear in the
enterbox when it is displayed.
Returns the text that the user entered, or None if he cancels the operation.
By default, enterbox strips its result (i.e. removes leading and trailing
whitespace). (If you want it not to strip, use keyword argument: strip=False.)
This makes it easier to test the results of the call::
reply = enterbox(....)
if reply:
...
else:
...
- fileopenbox(msg=None, title=None, default=None)
- A dialog to get a file name.
Returns the name of a file, or None if user chose to cancel.

- Show a box in which a user can enter an integer.
In addition to arguments for msg and title, this function accepts
integer arguments for default_value, lowerbound, and upperbound.
The default_value argument may be None.
When the user enters some text, the text is checked to verify
that it can be converted to an integer between the lowerbound and upperbound.
If it can be, the integer (not the text) is returned.
If it cannot, then an error msg is displayed, and the integerbox is
redisplayed.
If the user cancels the operation, None is returned.
- msgbox(msg='(Your message goes here)', title=' ', ok_button='OK', image=None)

- multenterbox(msg='Fill in values for the fields.', title=' ', fields=(), values=())
- Show screen with multiple data entry fields.
If there are fewer values than names, the list of values is padded with
empty strings until the number of values is the same as the number of names.
If there are more values than names, the list of values
is truncated so that there are as many values as names.
Returns a list of the values of the fields,
or None if the user cancels the operation.
Here is some example code, that shows how values returned from
multenterbox can be checked for validity before they are accepted::
----------------------------------------------------------------------
msg = "Enter your personal information"
title = "Credit Card Application"
fieldNames = ["Name","Street Address","City","State","ZipCode"]
fieldValues = [] # we start with blanks for the values
fieldValues = multenterbox(msg,title, fieldNames)
# make sure that none of the fields was left blank
while 1:
if fieldValues == None: break
errmsg = ""
for i in range(len(fieldNames)):
if fieldValues[i].strip() == "":
errmsg = errmsg + ('"%s" is a required field.
' % fieldNames[i])
if errmsg == "": break # no problems found
fieldValues = multenterbox(errmsg, title, fieldNames, fieldValues)
print "Reply was:", fieldValues
----------------------------------------------------------------------
@arg msg: the msg to be displayed.
@arg title: the window title
@arg fields: a list of fieldnames.

- multpasswordbox(msg='Fill in values for the fields.', title=' ', fields=(), values=())
- Same interface as multenterbox. But in multpassword box,
the last of the fields is assumed to be a password, and

Here is some example code, that shows how values returned from
multpasswordbox can be checked for validity before they are accepted::
----------------------------------------------------------------------
msg = "Enter logon information"
title = "Demo of multpasswordbox"
fieldNames = ["Server ID", "User ID", "Password"]

fieldValues = multpasswordbox(msg,title, fieldNames)
# make sure that none of the fields was left blank
while 1:
if fieldValues == None: break
errmsg = ""
for i in range(len(fieldNames)):
if fieldValues[i].strip() == "":
errmsg = errmsg + ('"%s" is a required field.
' % fieldNames[i])
if errmsg == "": break # no problems found
fieldValues = multpasswordbox(errmsg, title, fieldNames, fieldValues)
print "Reply was:", fieldValues
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- passwordbox(msg='Enter your password.', title=' ', default='')
- Show a box in which a user can enter a password.
The text is masked with asterisks, so the password is not displayed.

- textbox(msg='', title=' ', text='', codebox=0)
- Display some text in a proportional font with line wrapping at word breaks.
