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

178 The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the
179 standard identifiers, such as @c wxID_APPLY or @c wxID_OPEN. Notice
180 that even if the label is specified as an identifier, the return value
181 of the dialog ShowModal() method still remains one of @c wxID_OK, @c
182 wxID_CANCEL, @c wxID_YES or @c wxID_NO values, i.e. this identifier
183 changes only the label appearance but not the return code generated by
184 the button. It is possible to mix stock identifiers and string labels
185 in the same function call, for example:
186 @code
187 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
188 dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));
189 @endcode
190
191 Also notice that this function is not currently available on all
192 platforms (although as of wxWidgets 2.9.0 it is implemented in all
193 major ports), so it may return @false to indicate that the labels
461cd115
VZ
194 couldn't be changed. If it returns @true, the labels were set
195 successfully.
196
197 Typically, if the function was used successfully, the main dialog
198 message may need to be changed, e.g.:
8ad89211
VZ
199 @code
200 wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
201 if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
202 dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));
203 else // buttons have standard "Yes"/"No" values, so rephrase the question
204 dlg.SetMessage(_("Do you really want to quit?"));

247 This is a convenient function which is usually used instead of using

250 provided by this function but only by wxMessageDialog.
