7c913512 16
23324ae1

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

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

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