    @class wxMessageDialog

    This class represents a dialog that shows a single or multi-line message,
    with a choice of OK, Yes, No and Cancel buttons.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxOK}
        Puts an Ok button in the message box. May be combined with @c wxCANCEL.
    @style{wxCANCEL}
        Puts a Cancel button in the message box. Must be combined with
        either @c wxOK or @c wxYES_NO.
    @style{wxYES_NO}
        Puts Yes and No buttons in the message box. May be combined with
        @c wxCANCEL.
    @style{wxNO_DEFAULT}
        Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with @c wxYES_NO.
    @style{wxCANCEL_DEFAULT}
        Makes the "Cancel" button default, can only be used with @c wxCANCEL
    @style{wxYES_DEFAULT}
        Makes the "Yes" button default, this is the default behaviour and
        this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxNO_DEFAULT.
    @style{wxOK_DEFAULT}
        Makes the "OK" button default, this is the default behaviour and
        this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxCANCEL_DEFAULT.
    @style{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
        Displays an exclamation mark symbol.
    @style{wxICON_ERROR}
        Displays an error symbol.
    @style{wxICON_HAND}
        Displays an error symbol, this is a MSW-inspired synonym for @c wxICON_ERROR.
    @style{wxICON_QUESTION}
        Displays a question mark symbol. This icon is automatically used
        with @c wxYES_NO so it's usually unnecessary to specify it explicitly.
    @style{wxICON_INFORMATION}
        Displays an information symbol. This icon is used by default if
        @c wxYES_NO is not given so it is usually unnecessary to specify it
        explicitly.
    @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
        Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows (currently
        implemented only under MSW).

        The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the
        standard identifiers, such as @c wxID_APPLY or @c wxID_OPEN. Notice
        that even if the label is specified as an identifier, the return value
        of the dialog ShowModal() method still remains one of @c wxID_OK, @c
        wxID_CANCEL, @c wxID_YES or @c wxID_NO values, i.e. this identifier
        changes only the label appearance but not the return code generated by
        the button. It is possible to mix stock identifiers and string labels
        in the same function call, for example:
        @code
        wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
        dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));
        @endcode

        Also notice that this function is not currently available on all
        platforms (although as of wxWidgets 2.9.0 it is implemented in all
        major ports), so it may return @false to indicate that the labels
        couldn't be changed. If it returns @true (currently only under wxMac),
        the labels were set successfully. Typically, if the function was used
        successfully, the main dialog message may need to be changed, e.g.:
        @code
        wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
        if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
            dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));
        else // buttons have standard "Yes"/"No" values, so rephrase the question
            dlg.SetMessage(_("Do you really want to quit?"));
        @endcode
    */
    virtual bool SetYesNoLabels(const ButtonLabel& yes, const ButtonLabel& no);

    /**
        Shows the dialog, returning one of wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL, wxID_YES, wxID_NO.

        Notice that this method returns the identifier of the button which was
        clicked unlike wxMessageBox() function.

/**
    Show a general purpose message dialog.

    This is a convenient function which is usually used instead of using
    wxMessageDialog directly. Notice however that some of the features, such as
    extended text and custom labels for the message box buttons, are not
    provided by this function but only by wxMessageDialog.

    The return value is one of: @c wxYES, @c wxNO, @c wxCANCEL or @c wxOK
    (notice that this return value is @b different from the return value of
    wxMessageDialog::ShowModal()).

    For example:
    @code
    int answer = wxMessageBox("Quit program?", "Confirm",
                              wxYES_NO | wxCANCEL, main_frame);
    if (answer == wxYES)
        main_frame->Close();
    @endcode

    @a message may contain newline characters, in which case the message will
    be split into separate lines, to cater for large messages.

    @param message
        Message to show in the dialog.
    @param caption
        The dialog title.
    @param parent
        Parent window.
    @param style
        Combination of style flags described in wxMessageDialog documentation.
    @param x
        Horizontal dialog position (ignored under MSW). Use ::wxDefaultCoord
        for @a x and @a y to let the system position the window.
    @param y
        Vertical dialog position (ignored under MSW).
