TuiMessageBox

Draws a dialog with a title, a message and buttons, coloured by its kind.

Syntax

type TuiMessageBox extends TuiWidget
    as ustring title, message
    as TuiStringArray buttons
    as int32 selected
    as uint8 msgKind
    as TuiTheme theme
end type

Description

A modal dialog with buttons. msgKind is TUIMSG_INFO, _WARNING, ERROR or QUESTION and picks the accent colour; ERROR carries the underscore because ERROR is an intrinsic. Ask Accepted or Cancelled after handing it an event.

Example

#import "std/numeric"
#import "std/tui"
using tui, numeric

dim as TuiMessageBox mb
mb.title = "Confirm"
mb.message = "Submit the form?"
mb.buttons.Push( "Yes" )
mb.buttons.Push( "No" )
mb.selected = 0
mb.msgKind = TUIMSG_QUESTION
mb.theme = TuiThemeDefault( )

dim as TuiEvent e
e.kind = TUIEVENT_KEY : e.key.code = TUIKEY_ENTER
mb.HandleEvent( e )
print mb.Accepted( )              '' true -- "Yes" was selected
print mb.Cancelled( )             '' false
