16 @class wxMessageDialog
7c913512 17
23324ae1
FM
18 This class represents a dialog that shows a single or multi-line message,
19 with a choice of OK, Yes, No and Cancel buttons.

21 @beginStyleTable
22 @style{wxOK}
23 Puts an Ok button in the message box. May be combined with @c wxCANCEL.
24 @style{wxCANCEL}
25 Puts a Cancel button in the message box. Must be combined with
26 either @c wxOK or @c wxYES_NO.
27 @style{wxYES_NO}
8bd410eb
VZ
28 Puts Yes and No buttons in the message box. It is recommended to always
29 use @c wxCANCEL with this style as otherwise the message box won't have
30 a close button under wxMSW and the user will be forced to answer it.
7112cdd1
VZ
31 @style{wxHELP}
32 Puts a Help button to the message box. This button can have special
33 appearance or be specially positioned if its label is not changed from
34 the default one. Notice that using this button is not supported when
35 showing a message box from non-main thread in wxOSX/Cocoa and it is not
36 supported in wxOSX/Carbon at all. @since 2.9.3.
11dd61cb
FM
37 @style{wxNO_DEFAULT}
38 Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with @c wxYES_NO.
39 @style{wxCANCEL_DEFAULT}
40 Makes the "Cancel" button default, can only be used with @c wxCANCEL
41 @style{wxYES_DEFAULT}
42 Makes the "Yes" button default, this is the default behaviour and
43 this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxNO_DEFAULT.
44 @style{wxOK_DEFAULT}
45 Makes the "OK" button default, this is the default behaviour and
46 this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxCANCEL_DEFAULT.
7e3204b4
VZ
47 @style{wxICON_NONE}
48 Displays no icon in the dialog if possible (an icon might still be
49 displayed if the current platform mandates its use). This style may be
50 used to prevent the dialog from using the default icon based on @c
51 wxYES_NO presence as explained in @c wxICON_QUESTION and @c
52 wxICON_INFORMATION documentation below.
11dd61cb 53 @style{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
7e3204b4 54 Displays an exclamation, or warning, icon in the dialog.
11dd61cb 55 @style{wxICON_ERROR}
7e3204b4 56 Displays an error icon in the dialog.
11dd61cb
FM
57 @style{wxICON_HAND}
58 Displays an error symbol, this is a MSW-inspired synonym for @c wxICON_ERROR.
59 @style{wxICON_QUESTION}
60 Displays a question mark symbol. This icon is automatically used
61 with @c wxYES_NO so it's usually unnecessary to specify it explicitly.
b8737371
VZ
62 This style is not supported for message dialogs under wxMSW when a task
63 dialog is used to implement them (i.e. when running under Windows Vista
64 or later) because <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511273.aspx">Microsoft
65 guidelines</a> indicate that no icon should be used for routine
66 confirmations. If it is specified, no icon will be displayed.
11dd61cb
FM
67 @style{wxICON_INFORMATION}
68 Displays an information symbol. This icon is used by default if
69 @c wxYES_NO is not given so it is usually unnecessary to specify it
70 explicitly.
67315c8b
VZ
71 @style{wxICON_AUTH_NEEDED}
72 Displays an authentication needed symbol. This style is only supported
73 for message dialogs under wxMSW when a task dialog is used to implement
74 them (i.e. when running under Windows Vista or later). In other cases
75 the default icon selection logic will be used. Note this can be
76 combined with other styles to provide a fallback. For instance, using
77 wxICON_AUTH_NEEDED | wxICON_QUESTION will show a shield symbol on
78 Windows Vista or above and a question symbol on other platforms.
79 @since 2.9.5
11dd61cb 80 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
4566dcbe
VZ
81 Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows and not only
82 just its parent (currently implemented only under MSW and GTK).
7981d340
VZ
83 @style{wxCENTRE}
84 Centre the message box on its parent or on the screen if parent is not
ede7b017
VZ
85 specified.
86 Setting this style under MSW makes no differences as the dialog is
87 always centered on the parent.

226 The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the
227 standard identifiers, such as @c wxID_APPLY or @c wxID_OPEN. Notice
228 that even if the label is specified as an identifier, the return value
229 of the dialog ShowModal() method still remains one of @c wxID_OK, @c
230 wxID_CANCEL, @c wxID_YES or @c wxID_NO values, i.e. this identifier
231 changes only the label appearance but not the return code generated by
232 the button. It is possible to mix stock identifiers and string labels
233 in the same function call, for example:
234 @code
235 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
236 dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));
237 @endcode
238
239 Also notice that this function is not currently available on all
240 platforms (although as of wxWidgets 2.9.0 it is implemented in all
241 major ports), so it may return @false to indicate that the labels
461cd115
VZ
242 couldn't be changed. If it returns @true, the labels were set
243 successfully.
244
245 Typically, if the function was used successfully, the main dialog
246 message may need to be changed, e.g.:
8ad89211
VZ
247 @code
248 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
249 if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
250 dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));
251 else // buttons have standard "Yes"/"No" values, so rephrase the question
