Hi ,

I want to place the html link which will direct the user to the html page when click in my message box dialog's "message" string. Is this possible ?

dialog.showMessageBox(
focusedWindow,
{
type: "error",
message: message,
title: title,
cancelId: cancelId,
buttons: buttons
},
resolve
);

I tried below javascript but the dialog seems to be not interpreting the html tag. Hence just write it down as it is.
var productURL = <a href='http://storageexplorer.com/'>StorageExplorer</a>;
var message = "This query was created by a newer version of Storage Explorer. Please update to newer version at:" + productURL;

Output should be: This query was created by a newer version of Storage Explorer. Please update to newer version at: StorageExplorer

Sorry to say that this is not supported. I'd recommend building your own dialog - or adding the feature to the current dialog implementation in Electron, a PR is always welcome!

I was looking here to see if it was possible. The relevant files would be:

• https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/atom/browser/ui/message_box.h
• https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/atom/browser/ui/message_box_win.cc
• https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/atom/browser/ui/message_box_mac.mm
• https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/atom/browser/ui/message_box_gtk.cc

Where you'd need to figure out how to display links in each of the methods
