popask "NO" values differ in keyboard

(1/3) > >>

PDP-8:
TinyCorePure64 10.1 :

If you aren't using a mouse to click on yes / no, but instead are using the return key OR the space key to register a "NO", they return different values.  Use TAB to navigate to "no" button.

Example:

popask using the return/enter key to register a "yes" = 1

popask using the SPACE key to register a "yes" =1

Fine.

Use the TAB key to navigate to NO button.

popask using return/enter to register "no" = 1

popask using SPACE key to register "no" = 0

So, not a showstopper, BUT in the hands of the unskilled who might just actually use the space/return keys instead of a mouse, may result in unintended actions.

Hi PDP-8
It seems it's not a bug:

--- Quote ---Description

Displays a printf-style message in a pop-up box with an "Yes" and "No" button and waits for the user to hit a button. The return value is 1
if the user hits Yes, 0 if they pick No or another dialog box is still open. The enter key is a shortcut for Yes and ESC is a shortcut for No.

Note: Common dialog boxes are application modal. No more than one common dialog box can be open at any time. Requests for
additional dialog boxes are ignored.

Hi guys,
How to catch the Yes No output?
I tried

I always get No - regardless I clicked yes or no

Rich:
Hi pek
Check out  xmessage.  It's part of  Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz. Example:

--- Code: ---tc@E310:~$ xmessage -buttons Yes:1,No:2,Maybe:3 -print  -center "Hello, World!"
Maybe
tc@E310:~$ echo $?
3
tc@E310:~$
--- End code ---

This tells  xmessage  to create a popup with 3 buttons, Yes, No, and Maybe.
The numbers are the exit code you want for each button. The exit code can be found in  $?
The  -print  option tells it to print the name of the button selected.
The  -center  option tells it to place the popup in the center of the screen.

Just entering  xmessage  produces a help screen.

Hi Rich..
Sorry I was asking about popask.
I don't have xorg, only xfbdev. So I don't have xmessage either.

Back to popask..

--- Code: ---popask
clicked yes.. gives 1
--- End code ---
and

--- Code: ---popask
clicked no.. gives 0
--- End code ---

How to catch that 1 or 0 so I can make and if loop?
Thanks.
