prompt-with-message message &key owner continuation

Arguments

message

A string.

owner

An owner window, or nil .

continuation

A function or nil .

Description

The function prompt-with-message displays message in a dialog owned by owner .

prompts the user with a choice. The user's selection is normally returned by the prompter.

If continuation is non- nil , then it must be a function with a lambda list that accepts two arguments. The continuation function is called with the values that would normally be returned by prompt-with-message . On Cocoa, passing continuation causes the dialog to be made as a window-modal sheet and prompt-with-message returns immediately, leaving the dialog on the screen. The with-dialog-results macro provides a convenient way to create a continuation function.

Examples
