You've added user-interface parts to the window for AlarmClockView. Now add a Message Prompter part to get a message box when the alarm clock "rings."

Adding the part

To add a Message Prompter part:

  1. Select Prompter category icon (Prompters category) and Message prompter icon (Message Prompter part).
  2. Click on the free-form surface.

The Composition Editor now displays:
Alarm clock window with message prompter part

Changing the settings

Now, customize the part by changing its settings:

  1. Double-click on the Message Prompter part to open its settings view window.
  2. For iconType, select a type that beeps when the message box is displayed, such as XmICONWARNING.
  3. In the Title field, type a title such as:
    Get Moving!
    
  4. Don't add a messageString, because the user will specify the message in the Alarm Clock application.
  5. For buttonType select XmOK, because the message box only needs one button on it.
  6. Select OK.
