title: WidgetMessage: tm-modal
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
caption: tm-modal

The modal message displays a specified tiddler in a modal overlay that dims the main page. It requires the following properties on the `event` object:

|!Name |!Description |
|param |Title of the tiddler to be displayed |
|paramObject |Hashmap of variables to be provided to the modal |

The "currentTiddler" variable is set to the title of the modal tiddler, but can be overridden by specifying a different value in `paramObject`.

The modal message is usually generated with the ButtonWidget. The modal message is handled by the TiddlyWiki core.

! Example

Here is an example of displaying a modal and passing parameters to it:

<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src='Your name: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/yourName" tag="input" default="Your name"/>

Your message:
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/yourMessage" default="Your message"/>

<$button>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-modal" $param="SampleModal" yourName={{$:/temp/yourName}} yourMessage={{$:/temp/yourMessage}}/>
Click me!
</$button>'/>
