| Convenience method to show a message box, blocking the current thread. | |
The message box shows a message in a dialog window, with a number of buttons. These buttons may be standard buttons, or customized.
There are two distinct ways for using a WMessageBox, which reflect the two ways of dealing with a WDialog box.
The easiest way is using the static show() method, which shows a message box, blocks the current thread, and returns the button that was pressed by the user. Since this uses the WDialog::exec(), it suffers from the same scalability issues.
The more elaborate way is by creating a WMessageBox, and connecting the buttonClicked signal to a method. This method then interpretes the result and deletes the message box.
Example code (using the exec() method):
StandardButton result = WMessageBox::show("Confirm", "About to wreak havoc... Continue ?", Ok | Cancel);
This will show a message box that looks like this:

A WMessageBox can be styled using the Wt-dialog and Wt-outset style classes from it's superclass WDialog. The messagebox' buttons can be styled using Wt-msgbox-buttons style class.
| Wt::WMessageBox::WMessageBox | ( | bool | i18n = false |
) |
Creates an empty message box.
The button labels may be set fixed English (if i18n = false), or fetched from a resource bundle if i18n = true. In that case, the key for each button is exactly the same as the English text.

| const WString & | text, | |||
| Icon | icon, | |||
| WFlags< StandardButton > | buttons, | |||
| bool | i18n = false | |||
| ) |
Creates a message box with given caption, text, icon, and buttons.
The button labels may be set fixed English (if i18n = false), or fetched from a resource bundle if i18n = true.
In that case, the key for each button is exactly the same as the English text.
| WText* Wt::WMessageBox::textWidget | ( | ) | const [inline] |
