22 @class wxDialog
23
24 A dialog box is a window with a title bar and sometimes a system menu,
25 which can be moved around the screen. It can contain controls and other
26 windows and is often used to allow the user to make some choice or to
27 answer a question.
28
29 Dialogs can be made scrollable, automatically, for computers with low
30 resolution screens: please see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling for
31 further details.
32
33 Dialogs usually contains either a single button allowing to close the
34 dialog or two buttons, one accepting the changes and the other one
35 discarding them (such button, if present, is automatically activated if the
36 user presses the "Esc" key). By default, buttons with the standard wxID_OK
37 and wxID_CANCEL identifiers behave as expected. Starting with wxWidgets 2.7
38 it is also possible to use a button with a different identifier instead,
39 see SetAffirmativeId() and SetEscapeId().
40
41 Also notice that the CreateButtonSizer() should be used to create the
42 buttons appropriate for the current platform and positioned correctly
43 (including their order which is platform-dependent).
44
45 @section dialog_modal Modal and Modeless
46
47 There are two kinds of dialog, modal and modeless. A modal dialog blocks
48 program flow and user input on other windows until it is dismissed, whereas
49 a modeless dialog behaves more like a frame in that program flow continues,
50 and input in other windows is still possible. To show a modal dialog you
51 should use the ShowModal() method while to show a dialog modelessly you
52 simply use Show(), just as with frames.
53
54 Note that the modal dialog is one of the very few examples of
55 wxWindow-derived objects which may be created on the stack and not on the
56 heap. In other words, while most windows would be created like this:
57
58 @code
59 void AskUser()
60 {
61 MyAskDialog *dlg = new MyAskDialog(...);
62 if ( dlg->ShowModal() == wxID_OK )
63 // ...
64 //else: dialog was cancelled or some another button pressed
65
66 dlg->Destroy();
67 }
68 @endcode
69
70 You can achieve the same result with dialogs by using simpler code:
71
72 @code
73 void AskUser()
74 {
75 MyAskDialog dlg(...);
76 if ( dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK )
77 // ...
78
79 // no need to call Destroy() here
80 }
81 @endcode
82
83 An application can define a wxCloseEvent handler for the dialog to respond
84 to system close events.
85
86 @beginStyleTable
87 @style{wxCAPTION}
88 Puts a caption on the dialog box.
89 @style{wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE}
90 Equivalent to a combination of wxCAPTION, wxCLOSE_BOX and
91 wxSYSTEM_MENU (the last one is not used under Unix).
92 @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
93 Display a resizable frame around the window.
94 @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
95 Display a system menu.
96 @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
97 Displays a close box on the frame.
98 @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
99 Displays a maximize box on the dialog.
100 @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
101 Displays a minimize box on the dialog.
102 @style{wxTHICK_FRAME}
103 Display a thick frame around the window.
104 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
105 The dialog stays on top of all other windows.
106 @style{wxNO_3D}
107 This style is obsolete and doesn't do anything any more, don't use
108 it in any new code.
109 @style{wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT}
110 By default, a dialog created with a @NULL parent window will be
111 given the @ref wxApp::GetTopWindow() "application's top level window"
112 as parent. Use this style to prevent this from happening and create
113 an orphan dialog. This is not recommended for modal dialogs.
114 @style{wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
115 Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
116 Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
117 will send a @c wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
118 window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
119 calling SetExtraStyle() before Create is called (two-step
120 construction).
121 @style{wxDIALOG_EX_METAL}
122 On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
123 look. This is an extra style.
124 @endStyleTable
125
126 Under Unix or Linux, MWM (the Motif Window Manager) or other window
127 managers recognizing the MHM hints should be running for any of these
128 styles to have an effect.
129
130
131 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCloseEvent}
132 @event{EVT_CLOSE(func)}
133 The dialog is being closed by the user or programmatically (see wxWindow::Close).
134 The user may generate this event clicking the close button
135 (typically the 'X' on the top-right of the title bar) if it's present
136 (see the @c wxCLOSE_BOX style) or by clicking a button with the
137 @c wxID_CANCEL or @c wxID_OK ids.
138 @event{EVT_INIT_DIALOG(func)}
139 Process a @c wxEVT_INIT_DIALOG event. See wxInitDialogEvent.
