How To Use
----------

The source code includes some examples, so you can take a qucik look before you
start coding, and thre are two part of this library as below

1. High Level API functions
---------------------------

Before start, you need to import api funcitons:

::
from vsgui.api import *

Dialogs

::
from vsgui.api import *

# information dialog
info(msg)

# warring dialog
warning(msg):

# error dialog
error(msg):

# error dialog and terminate script
die(msg):

# notice dialog
notice(msg):

Input Text

::
# input text
input_text(text, initial=None)

# input password
input_passwd(text)

Questions

::

# ask user the anwser is yes or no
input_yesno(text, y=None, n=None):

# ask user select a or b
input_ab(text, a, b):

# ask user passowrd, and check it
check_passwd(wanted, count=3, text='', errmsg='wrong password, try again!')

Progress
-------

::
# launch a progress bar and create a update function
update = progress('downloading files')

# update progress bar message ot 'md5sum checking' and progessive number to 90
update(90, 'md5sum checking')


2. Zenity Class
---------------

if api functions is not enough, you can use Zenity class direcly to get
more powerful feature.

::
from vsgui.zenity import Zenity
z = Zenity()

# same as executing 'zenity --file-selection --filename=a.txt'
z.file_selection(filename='a.txt')
