(C++ VCL) MessageDlg

A dialog function posing a question that can be answered by yes/no/cancel/etc.

To use MessageDlg, #include the header file dialogs.hpp.

Example

MessageDlg("You want me to give you this message?", //Message
  mtConfirmation,                                   //Message type
  TMsgDlgButtons() << mbYes << mbNo,                //Buttons
  0);                                               //Help Context

Use of MessageDlg

int returnValue = MessageDlg(AnsiString Msg, //Message
  TMsgDlgType DlgType,                       //Message type
  TMsgDlgButtons Buttons,                    //Buttons
  int HelpCtx);                              //Help context

Possible return values are:

mrOK, mrCancel, mrYes, mrNo, mrAbort, mrRetry, mrIgnore

Possible message dialog types are:

enum TMsgDlgType {
  mtWarning,
  mtError,
  mtInformation,
  mtConfirmation,
  myCustom
  };

Possible buttons are:

enum TMsgDlgBtn {
  mbYes,
  mbNo,
  mbOK,
  mbCancel,
  mbAbort,
  mbRetry,
  mbIgnore,
  mbAll,
  mbNoToAll,
  mbYesToAll,
  mbHelp
  };

Because TMsgDlgButtons is a set, you use it e.g. by:

TMsgDlgButtons() << mbYes << mbNo //Etcetera
