# The hard way.
# -------------
my $dialog = $win->add(
    'mydialog', 'Dialog::Error',
-message   => 'The world has gone!'
);
$dialog->focus;
$win->delete('mydialog');

# The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation).

# or even:
$cui->error('The world has gone!');

DESCRIPTION

Curses::UI::Dialog::Error is a basic error dialog. It is almost the same as Curses::UI::Dialog::Basic, except for the fact that a warning sign is drawn to the left of the message using ASCII "art":

   _
  / \
 / ! \
/_____\

Since this class is very closely related to the basic dialog, see Curses::UI::Dialog::Basic for a description of the options and methods that you can use.
