+ Inheritance diagram for wxMessageDialog:

Detailed Description

This class represents a dialog that shows a single or multi-line message, with a choice of OK, Yes, No and Cancel buttons.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wxOK:
    Puts an Ok button in the message box. May be combined with wxCANCEL.
  • wxCANCEL:
    Puts a Cancel button in the message box. Must be combined with either wxOK or wxYES_NO.
  • wxYES_NO:
    Puts Yes and No buttons in the message box. It is recommended to always use 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.
  • 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. Available since wxWidgets 2.9.3.
  • wxNO_DEFAULT:
    Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with wxYES_NO.
  • wxCANCEL_DEFAULT:
    Makes the "Cancel" button default, can only be used with wxCANCEL. This style is currently not supported (and ignored) in wxOSX.
  • wxYES_DEFAULT:
    Makes the "Yes" button default, this is the default behaviour and this flag exists solely for symmetry with wxNO_DEFAULT.
  • wxOK_DEFAULT:
    Makes the "OK" button default, this is the default behaviour and this flag exists solely for symmetry with wxCANCEL_DEFAULT.
  • 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 wxYES_NO presence as explained in wxICON_QUESTION and wxICON_INFORMATION documentation below.
  • wxICON_EXCLAMATION:
    Displays an exclamation, or warning, icon in the dialog.
  • wxICON_ERROR:
    Displays an error icon in the dialog.
  • wxICON_HAND:
    Displays an error symbol, this is a MSW-inspired synonym for wxICON_ERROR.
  • wxICON_QUESTION:
    Displays a question mark symbol. This icon is automatically used with 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 Microsoft guidelines indicate that no icon should be used for routine confirmations. If it is specified, no icon will be displayed.
  • wxICON_INFORMATION:
    Displays an information symbol. This icon is used by default if wxYES_NO is not given so it is usually unnecessary to specify it explicitly.
  • 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. Available since wxWidgets 2.9.5
  • 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).
  • 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.

Constructor specifying the message box properties.

Use ShowModal() to show the dialog.

style may be a bit list of the identifiers described above.

Notice that not all styles are compatible: only one of wxOK and wxYES_NO may be specified (and one of them must be specified) and at most one default button style can be used and it is only valid if the corresponding button is shown in the message box.

Parameters
parentParent window.
messageMessage to show in the dialog.
captionThe dialog title.
styleCombination of style flags described above.
posDialog position (ignored under MSW).

virtual void wxMessageDialog::SetExtendedMessage ( const wxString extendedMessage)
virtual

Sets the extended message for the dialog: this message is usually an extension of the short message specified in the constructor or set with SetMessage().

If it is set, the main message appears highlighted – if supported – and this message appears beneath it in normal font. On the platforms which don't support extended messages, it is simply appended to the normal message with an empty line separating them.

Since
2.9.0
virtual bool wxMessageDialog::SetHelpLabel ( const ButtonLabel help)
virtual

Sets the label for the Help button.

Please see the remarks in SetYesNoLabels() documentation.

Notice that changing the label of the help button resets its special status (if any, this depends on the platform) and it will be treated just like another button in this case.

Since
2.9.3
virtual void wxMessageDialog::SetMessage ( const wxString message)
virtual

Sets the message shown by the dialog.

Since
2.9.0
virtual bool wxMessageDialog::SetOKCancelLabels ( const ButtonLabel ok,

virtual

Overrides the default label of the OK button.

Please see the remarks in SetYesNoLabels() documentation.

Since
2.9.0
virtual bool wxMessageDialog::SetYesNoCancelLabels ( const ButtonLabel yes,
const ButtonLabel no,
const ButtonLabel cancel 
)
virtual

Overrides the default labels of the Yes, No and Cancel buttons.

Please see the remarks in SetYesNoLabels() documentation.

Since
2.9.0
virtual bool wxMessageDialog::SetYesNoLabels ( const ButtonLabel yes,
const ButtonLabel no 
)
virtual

Overrides the default labels of the Yes and No buttons.

The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the standard identifiers, such as wxID_APPLY or 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 wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL, wxID_YES or 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:

wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));

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.:

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?"));
Since
2.9.0
virtual int wxMessageDialog::ShowModal ( )
virtual

Shows the dialog, returning one of wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL, wxID_YES, wxID_NO or wxID_HELP.

Notice that this method returns the identifier of the button which was clicked unlike wxMessageBox() function.

Reimplemented from wxDialog.
