Description Joshua J. Wingstrom 2003-09-10 12:11:43 UTC 
Version:           0.9 (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

Sometime a user wants to display a message and nothing else.  In this case it would be good to have a --closeonly option.  I am currently writing a script where I ask to use to select a menu item.  If they select okay and cancel, both have the same effect.  It would be good not to mislead the user into thinking that clicking cancel will actually do something.  Also, as far as I can tell, they both return the same thing anyway, so even if I did want to cancel out of the script if they selected cancel, I could not.

Is it not enough to just use a --msgbox? Can you provide an example of the text you want to display?
Comment 2 David Faure 2003-10-29 08:10:42 UTC 
--msgbox shows a "OK" only indeed.
And the exitcode _does_ differ depending on the button that was chosen (at least in HEAD, i.e. 3.2-beta; IIRC this was broken in 3.1).
