Public methods
string alert ( string message, string title, string okTitle)
Displays an alert dialog to the process running the current program. The dialog is modal, so the program pauses until the user clicks the dialog's button.
Arguments
| message | The message to display in the dialog. |
|---|---|
| title | The dialog's title. The default value is "Alert". |
| okTitle | The text displayed in the dialog button. The default value is "OK". |
integer choice (string message, iterable choices, string title)
Displays a dialog with a list of choices to the process running the current program. The dialog is modal, so the program pauses until the user clicks one of the dialog's buttons.

|---|---|
| choices | A Python iterable containing one or more objects that are displayed as strings. The recommended form is an array of strings. |
| title | The dialog's title. The default is "Input". |
Returns
- If the user makes a selection and clicks the "OK" button, the method returns the 0-based index of the selection within the iterable. If the user clicks the "Cancel" button, the method returns -1.
void help (string format)

pydoc tool, using the specified format.
Arguments
| format | The markup format to use in the output. The possible values are "text" for plain text or "html" for HTML. |
|---|
string input (string message string initialValue, string title, string okTitle, string cancelTitle)
Displays a dialog that accepts input and returns it to the program. The dialog is modal, so the program pauses until the user clicks one of the dialog's buttons.
The dialog contains two buttons, one of which displays the okTitle value and the other the cancelTitle value. If the user clicks the okTitle button, the current value of the input box is returned. If the user clicks the cancelTitle button, an empty string is returned.

| cancelTitle | The text displayed in the cancelTitle button. The default is "Cancel". |
Returns
- If the user clicks the okTitle button, then the method returns the current value of the dialog's input box. If the user clicks the cancelTitle button, the method returns an empty string.

Pauses the current program for the specified number of seconds.
Arguments
| seconds | The number of seconds to pause. |
