Displays a message to the user and returns a value indicating the button that was clicked.
FUNCTION MessageBox& (Message$, Title$, Setup AS LONG)
Not specifying Title$ will have the message box inherit the main form's title/caption.
Setup is a combination (button + icon) of:
- Buttons, which can be
MsgBox_OkOnly, MsgBox_OkCancel, MsgBox_AbortRetryIgnore, MsgBox_YesNoCancel, MsgBox_YesNo, MsgBox_RetryCancel, MsgBox_CancelTryagainContinue, MsgBox_CancelTryagainContinue
. - Icons, which can be
MsgBox_Critical, MsgBox_Question, MsgBox_Exclamation, MsgBox_Information
The possible return values are: MsgBox_Ok, MsgBox_Cancel, MsgBox_Abort, MsgBox_Retry, MsgBox_Ignore, MsgBox_Yes, MsgBox_No, MsgBox_Tryagain, MsgBox_Continue
.
All combinations of the above work as expected in Windows. For macOS and Linux, you only get OkOnly and YesNo for buttons.
Sample usage:
Answer = MessageBox("Do you love QB64?", "", MsgBox_YesNo + MsgBox_Question)
IF Answer = MsgBox_No THEN
Caption(Label1) = "I'll give you some more time to fall in love."
ELSE
Caption(Label1) = "We do too!"
END IF
