You can create standard alert-like dialogs:
$ hdialog -m --info "Finished downloading all files."
$ hdialog -m --yesno "Do you really want to delete ~ ?"
Ask for textual input:
$ hdialog -m --input "Hello, what's yout name? :)"
You can also do selections from multiple items:
$ hdialog -m --radio "Which is your favourite color?" Red Yellow Green Orange Blue
Or pick color:
$ hdialog -m --color Choose the color of your pony:
You can remove the -m switch and get the standard non-modal window look:
$ hdialog --title Animals --checkbox "Which of the following are animals?" House Cow Dog Pencil Cat
The results are then returned using the standard output.
For displaying progress, --status can be used:
$ hdialog -m -h 70 -w 300 --status Downloading...
You can control the status bar by piping percentages to stdin and terminate it by quit like this:
$ (for x in $(seq 0 100); do echo $x; sleep 0.1; done; echo quit) | hdialog --status Counting...
