/**
    @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. It is recommended to always
        use @c wxCANCEL with this style as otherwise the message box won't have
        a close button under wxMSW and the user will be forced to answer it.
    @style{wxHELP}
        Puts a Help button to the message box. This button can have special
        appearance or be specially positioned if its label is not changed from
        the default one. Notice that using this button is not supported when
        showing a message box from non-main thread in wxOSX/Cocoa and it is not
        supported in wxOSX/Carbon at all. @since 2.9.3.
    @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_NONE}
        Displays no icon in the dialog if possible (an icon might still be
        displayed if the current platform mandates its use). This style may be
        used to prevent the dialog from using the default icon based on @c
        wxYES_NO presence as explained in @c wxICON_QUESTION and @c
        wxICON_INFORMATION documentation below.
    @style{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
        Displays an exclamation, or warning, icon in the dialog.
    @style{wxICON_ERROR}
        Displays an error icon in the dialog.
    @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.
        This style is not supported for message dialogs under wxMSW when a task
        dialog is used to implement them (i.e. when running under Windows Vista
        or later) because <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511273.aspx">Microsoft
        guidelines</a> indicate that no icon should be used for routine
        confirmations. If it is specified, no icon will be displayed.
    @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{wxICON_AUTH_NEEDED}
        Displays an authentication needed symbol. This style is only supported
        for message dialogs under wxMSW when a task dialog is used to implement
        them (i.e. when running under Windows Vista or later). In other cases
        the default icon selection logic will be used. Note this can be
        combined with other styles to provide a fallback. For instance, using
        wxICON_AUTH_NEEDED | wxICON_QUESTION will show a shield symbol on
        Windows Vista or above and a question symbol on other platforms.
        @since 2.9.5
    @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
        Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows and not only
        just its parent (currently implemented only under MSW and GTK).
    @style{wxCENTRE}
        Centre the message box on its parent or on the screen if parent is not
        specified.
        Setting this style under MSW makes no differences as the dialog is
        always centered on the parent.

        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, 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

        @since 2.9.0

    /**

        wxID_NO or wxID_HELP.

/**
    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, @c wxOK or @c
    wxHELP (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).
