10 @class wxMessageDialog
7c913512 11
23324ae1
FM
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}
8bd410eb
VZ
22 Puts Yes and No buttons in the message box. It is recommended to always
23 use @c wxCANCEL with this style as otherwise the message box won't have
24 a close button under wxMSW and the user will be forced to answer it.
11dd61cb
FM
25 @style{wxNO_DEFAULT}
26 Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with @c wxYES_NO.
27 @style{wxCANCEL_DEFAULT}
28 Makes the "Cancel" button default, can only be used with @c wxCANCEL
29 @style{wxYES_DEFAULT}
30 Makes the "Yes" button default, this is the default behaviour and
31 this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxNO_DEFAULT.
32 @style{wxOK_DEFAULT}
33 Makes the "OK" button default, this is the default behaviour and
34 this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxCANCEL_DEFAULT.

VZ
35 @style{wxICON_NONE}
36 Displays no icon in the dialog if possible (an icon might still be
37 displayed if the current platform mandates its use). This style may be
38 used to prevent the dialog from using the default icon based on @c
39 wxYES_NO presence as explained in @c wxICON_QUESTION and @c
40 wxICON_INFORMATION documentation below.
11dd61cb 41 @style{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
7e3204b4 42 Displays an exclamation, or warning, icon in the dialog.
11dd61cb 43 @style{wxICON_ERROR}
7e3204b4 44 Displays an error icon in the dialog.
11dd61cb
FM
45 @style{wxICON_HAND}
46 Displays an error symbol, this is a MSW-inspired synonym for @c wxICON_ERROR.
47 @style{wxICON_QUESTION}
48 Displays a question mark symbol. This icon is automatically used
49 with @c wxYES_NO so it's usually unnecessary to specify it explicitly.
50 @style{wxICON_INFORMATION}
51 Displays an information symbol. This icon is used by default if
52 @c wxYES_NO is not given so it is usually unnecessary to specify it
53 explicitly.
54 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
4566dcbe
VZ
55 Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows and not only
56 just its parent (currently implemented only under MSW and GTK).
7981d340
VZ
57 @style{wxCENTRE}
58 Centre the message box on its parent or on the screen if parent is not
59 specified (currently only implemented under MSW).

151 The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the
152 standard identifiers, such as @c wxID_APPLY or @c wxID_OPEN. Notice
153 that even if the label is specified as an identifier, the return value
154 of the dialog ShowModal() method still remains one of @c wxID_OK, @c
155 wxID_CANCEL, @c wxID_YES or @c wxID_NO values, i.e. this identifier
156 changes only the label appearance but not the return code generated by
157 the button. It is possible to mix stock identifiers and string labels
158 in the same function call, for example:
159 @code
160 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
161 dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));
162 @endcode
163
164 Also notice that this function is not currently available on all
165 platforms (although as of wxWidgets 2.9.0 it is implemented in all
166 major ports), so it may return @false to indicate that the labels
461cd115
VZ
167 couldn't be changed. If it returns @true, the labels were set
168 successfully.
169
170 Typically, if the function was used successfully, the main dialog
171 message may need to be changed, e.g.:
8ad89211
VZ
172 @code
173 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
174 if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
175 dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));
176 else // buttons have standard "Yes"/"No" values, so rephrase the question
177 dlg.SetMessage(_("Do you really want to quit?"));

203 Show a general purpose message dialog.
204
205 This is a convenient function which is usually used instead of using
206 wxMessageDialog directly. Notice however that some of the features, such as
207 extended text and custom labels for the message box buttons, are not
208 provided by this function but only by wxMessageDialog.
209
210 The return value is one of: @c wxYES, @c wxNO, @c wxCANCEL or @c wxOK
211 (notice that this return value is @b different from the return value of
212 wxMessageDialog::ShowModal()).
