Detailed Description

A standard dialog for confirmation or to get simple user input.

The message box shows a message in a dialog window, with a number of buttons. These buttons may only be standard buttons.

There are two distinct ways for using a MessageBox, which reflect the two ways of dealing with a Dialog 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 Dialog::exec(), it suffers from the same scalability issues.

The more elaborate way is by creating a MessageBox, and connecting the buttonClicked signal to a method. This method then interpretes the result and deletes the message box.

The API is slightly different from the WMessageBox API:

Example of a MessageBox

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MessageBox() [1/2]

Wt::Ext::MessageBox::MessageBox ( bool  i18n = false)

Create 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.

◆ MessageBox() [2/2]

Wt::Ext::MessageBox::MessageBox ( const WString caption,
const WString text,
Icon  icon,
WFlags< StandardButton buttons,
bool  i18n = false 
)

Create 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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ enablePrompt()

void Wt::Ext::MessageBox::enablePrompt ( bool  enable)

Show a single-line input field.

A message box may contain either a prompt, or a text area field, but not both. The value may be set using setValue() and retrieved using value().

See also
enableTextArea(), setValue(), value()

◆ enableTextArea()

void Wt::Ext::MessageBox::enableTextArea ( bool  enable)

Show a multi-line input field.

A message box may contain either a prompt, or a text area field, but not both. The value may be set using setValue() and retrieved using value().

See also
enablePrompt(), setValue(), value()

◆ hasPrompt()

bool Wt::Ext::MessageBox::hasPrompt ( ) const

Return if the messagebox may show a prompt.

See also
enablePrompt()

◆ hasTextArea()

bool Wt::Ext::MessageBox::hasTextArea ( ) const

Return if the messagebox may show a prompt.

See also
enableTextArea()

◆ prompt()

StandardButton Wt::Ext::MessageBox::prompt ( const WString caption,
const WString text,
WString value,
bool  multiLine = false,
bool  i18n = false 
)
static

Convenience method to show a message box prompting for input, blocking the current thread.

Show a message box that prompts for input, blocking the current thread until the message box is closed, and return the result.

When the user confirmed message box, the value is updated with the edited value.

◆ refresh()

void Wt::Ext::MessageBox::refresh ( )
virtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note
This does *not* rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::Ext::Panel.

◆ result()

StandardButton Wt::Ext::MessageBox::result ( )

Get the result of this message box.

This value is only defined after a button has been clicked.

◆ setValue()

void Wt::Ext::MessageBox::setValue ( const WString value)

Set the value in the input field.

See also
enableTextArea(), enablePrompt()

◆ show()

StandardButton Wt::Ext::MessageBox::show ( const WString caption,
const WString text,
WFlags< StandardButton buttons,
bool  i18n = false 
)
static

Convenience method to show a message box, blocking the current thread.

Show a message box, blocking the current thread until the message box is closed, and return the result.

◆ value()

const WString& Wt::Ext::MessageBox::value ( ) const

Get the value of the input field.

enableTextArea(), enablePrompt()
