# Selection Prompt widget

The Selection Prompt widget is special form of SelectionBox, which allows you to retrieve the answer to a simple question.

No action is taken until the "OK" button is pressed.

For more information, consult XmSelectionBox(3X) in the OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference Manual.

NOTES

In Motif 1.1, you could add a single Work Area child widget to a Selection Prompt in order to provide some extra functionality. In Motif 1.2, you can also add a MenuBar and multiple PushButtons.

The buttons in a Selection Prompt are gadgets and so will not highlight when selected.

If you want to change the labels of the built-in buttons, they should be changed in the Selection Prompt resource panel, not in the resource panel for each button.
