        Constructor specifying the message box properties.

        Use ShowModal() to show the dialog.

        @a style may be a bit list of the following identifiers:

        @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. May be combined with
            @c wxCANCEL.
        @style{wxNO_DEFAULT}
            Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with @c wxYES_NO.
        @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{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
            Displays an exclamation mark symbol.
        @style{wxICON_ERROR}
            Displays an error symbol.
        @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.
        @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{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
            Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows (currently
            implemented only under MSW).
        @endStyleTable

        @param parent
            Parent window.

            Message to show in the dialog.

        wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
        if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
            dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));

/**
    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 or @c wxOK
    (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 @c wxDefaultCoord
        for @a x and @a y to let the system position the window.
    @param y
        Vertical dialog position (ignored under MSW).
