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

15 @beginStyleTable
16 @style{wxOK}
17 Puts an Ok button in the message box. May be combined with @c wxCANCEL.
18 @style{wxCANCEL}
19 Puts a Cancel button in the message box. Must be combined with
20 either @c wxOK or @c wxYES_NO.
21 @style{wxYES_NO}
22 Puts Yes and No buttons in the message box. May be combined with
23 @c wxCANCEL.
24 @style{wxNO_DEFAULT}
25 Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with @c wxYES_NO.
26 @style{wxCANCEL_DEFAULT}
27 Makes the "Cancel" button default, can only be used with @c wxCANCEL
28 @style{wxYES_DEFAULT}
29 Makes the "Yes" button default, this is the default behaviour and
30 this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxNO_DEFAULT.
31 @style{wxOK_DEFAULT}
32 Makes the "OK" button default, this is the default behaviour and
33 this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxCANCEL_DEFAULT.

VZ
34 @style{wxICON_NONE}
35 Displays no icon in the dialog if possible (an icon might still be
36 displayed if the current platform mandates its use). This style may be
37 used to prevent the dialog from using the default icon based on @c
38 wxYES_NO presence as explained in @c wxICON_QUESTION and @c
39 wxICON_INFORMATION documentation below.
11dd61cb 40 @style{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
7e3204b4 41 Displays an exclamation, or warning, icon in the dialog.
11dd61cb 42 @style{wxICON_ERROR}
7e3204b4 43 Displays an error icon in the dialog.
11dd61cb
FM
44 @style{wxICON_HAND}
45 Displays an error symbol, this is a MSW-inspired synonym for @c wxICON_ERROR.
46 @style{wxICON_QUESTION}
47 Displays a question mark symbol. This icon is automatically used
48 with @c wxYES_NO so it's usually unnecessary to specify it explicitly.
49 @style{wxICON_INFORMATION}
50 Displays an information symbol. This icon is used by default if
51 @c wxYES_NO is not given so it is usually unnecessary to specify it
52 explicitly.
53 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
4566dcbe
VZ
54 Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows and not only
55 just its parent (currently implemented only under MSW and GTK).

137 The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the
138 standard identifiers, such as @c wxID_APPLY or @c wxID_OPEN. Notice
139 that even if the label is specified as an identifier, the return value
140 of the dialog ShowModal() method still remains one of @c wxID_OK, @c
141 wxID_CANCEL, @c wxID_YES or @c wxID_NO values, i.e. this identifier
142 changes only the label appearance but not the return code generated by
143 the button. It is possible to mix stock identifiers and string labels
144 in the same function call, for example:
145 @code
146 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
147 dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));
148 @endcode
149
150 Also notice that this function is not currently available on all
151 platforms (although as of wxWidgets 2.9.0 it is implemented in all
152 major ports), so it may return @false to indicate that the labels
461cd115
VZ
153 couldn't be changed. If it returns @true, the labels were set
154 successfully.
155
156 Typically, if the function was used successfully, the main dialog
157 message may need to be changed, e.g.:
8ad89211
VZ
158 @code
159 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
160 if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
161 dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));
162 else // buttons have standard "Yes"/"No" values, so rephrase the question
163 dlg.SetMessage(_("Do you really want to quit?"));

187 Show a general purpose message dialog.
188
189 This is a convenient function which is usually used instead of using
190 wxMessageDialog directly. Notice however that some of the features, such as
191 extended text and custom labels for the message box buttons, are not
192 provided by this function but only by wxMessageDialog.
193
194 The return value is one of: @c wxYES, @c wxNO, @c wxCANCEL or @c wxOK
195 (notice that this return value is @b different from the return value of
196 wxMessageDialog::ShowModal()).
