boxes are used to provide informative messages and to ask +simple questions. +<p> TQMessageBox provides a range of different messages, arranged +roughly along two axes: severity and complexity. +<p> Severity is +<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0"> +<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> +<td valign="top"><center><img src="tqmessagebox-quest.png"></center> <td valign="top">Question +<td

Some style guides recommend using Information for this +purpose. +<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> +<td valign="top"><center><img src="tqmessagebox-info.png"></center> <td valign="top">Information +<td valign="top">For message boxes that are part of normal operation. +<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> +<td valign="top"><center><img src="tqmessagebox-warn.png"></center> <td valign="top">Warning +<td valign="top">For message boxes that tell the user about unusual errors. +<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> +<td valign="top"><center><img src="tqmessagebox-crit.png"></center> <td valign="top">Critical +<td valign="top">For message boxes that tell the user about critical errors. +</table></center> +<p> The message box has a different icon for each of the severity levels. +<p> Complexity is one button (OK) for simple messages, or two or even +three buttons for questions. +<p> There are static functions for the most common cases. +<p> Examples: +<p> If a program is unable to find a supporting file, but can do perfectly +well without it: +<p> <pre> + TQMessageBox::<a href="#information">information</a>( this, "Application name", + "Unable to find the user preferences file.\n" + "The factory default will be used instead." ); + </pre> + +<p> <a href="#question">question</a>() is useful for simple yes/no questions: +<p> <pre> + if ( TQFile::<a href="tqfile.html#exists">exists</a>( filename ) && + TQMessageBox::<a href="#question">question</a>( + this, + <a href="tqobject.html#tr">tr</a>("Overwrite File? -- Application Name"), + <a href="tqobject.html#tr">tr</a>("A file called %1 already exists." + "Do you want to overwrite it?") + .arg( filename ), + <a href="tqobject.html#tr">tr</a>("&Yes"), tr("&No"), + <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>, 0, 1 ) ) + return false; + </pre> + +<p> <a href="#warning">warning</a>() can be used to tell the user about unusual errors, or +errors which can't be easily fixed: +<p> <pre> + switch( TQMessageBox::<a href="#warning">warning</a>( this, "Application name", + "Could not connect to the <mumble> server.\n" + "This program can't function correctly " + "without the server.\n\n", + "Retry", + "Quit", 0, 0, 1 ) ) { + case 0: // The user clicked the Retry again button or pressed Enter + // try again + break; + case 1: // The user clicked the Quit or pressed Escape + // exit + break; + } + </pre> + +<p> The text part of all message box messages can be either rich text +or plain text. If you specify a rich text formatted string, it +will be rendered using the default stylesheet. See +<a href="tqstylesheet.html#defaultSheet">TQStyleSheet::defaultSheet</a>() for details. With certain strings that +contain XML meta characters, the auto-rich text detection may +fail, interpreting plain text incorrectly as rich text. In these +rare cases, use <a href="tqstylesheet.html#convertFromPlainText">TQStyleSheet::convertFromPlainText</a>() to convert +your plain text string to a visually equivalent rich text string +or set the text format explicitly with <a href="#setTextFormat">setTextFormat</a>(). +<p> Note that the Microsoft Windows User Interface Guidelines +recommend using the application name as the window's caption. +<p> Below are more examples of how to use the static member functions. +After these examples you will find an overview of the non-static +member functions. +<p> Exiting a program is part of its normal operation. If there is +unsaved data the user probably should be asked if they want to +save the data. For example: +<p> <pre> + switch( TQMessageBox::<a href="#information">information</a>( this, "Application name here", + "The document contains unsaved changes\n" + "Do you want to save the changes before exiting?", + "&Save", "&Discard", "Cancel", + 0, // Enter == button 0 + 2 ) ) { // Escape == button 2 + case 0: // Save clicked or Alt+S pressed or Enter pressed. + // save + break; + case 1: // Discard clicked or Alt+D pressed + // don't save but exit + break; + case 2: // Cancel clicked or Escape pressed + // don't exit + break; + } + </pre> + +<p> The Escape button cancels the entire exit operation, and pressing +Enter causes the changes to be saved before the exit occurs. +<p> Disk full errors are unusual and they certainly can be hard to +correct. This example uses predefined buttons instead of +hard-coded button texts: +<p> <pre> + switch( TQMessageBox::<a href="#warning">warning</a>( this, "Application name here", + "Could not save the user preferences,\n" + "because the disk is full. You can delete\n" + "some files and press Retry, or you can\n" + "abort the Save Preferences operation.", + TQMessageBox::Retry | TQMessageBox::Default, + TQMessageBox::Abort | TQMessageBox::Escape )) { + case TQMessageBox::Retry: // Retry clicked or Enter pressed + // try again + break; + case TQMessageBox::Abort: // Abort clicked or Escape pressed + // abort + break; + } + </pre> + +<p> The <a href="#critical">critical</a>() function should be reserved for critical errors. In +this example errorDetails is a <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> or const char*, and TQString +is used to concatenate several strings: +<p> <pre> + TQMessageBox::<a href="#critical">critical</a>( 0, "Application name here", + TQString("An internal error occurred. Please ") + + "call technical support at 1234-56789 and report\n"+ + "these numbers:\n\n" + errorDetails + + "\n\nApplication will now exit." ); + </pre> + +<p> In this example an OK button is displayed. +<p> TQMessageBox provides a very simple About box which displays an +appropriate icon and the string you provide: +<p> <pre> + TQMessageBox::<a href="#about">about</a>( this, "About <Application>", + "<Application> is a <one-paragraph blurb>\n\n" + "Copyright 1991-2003 Such-and-such. " + "<License words here.>\n\n" + "For technical support, call 1234-56789 or see\n" + "http://www.such-and-such.com/Application/\n" ); + </pre> + +<p> See <a href="#about">about</a>() for more information. +<p> If you want your users to know that the application is built using +TQt (so they know that you use high quality tools) you might like +to add an "About TQt" menu option under the Help menu to invoke +<a href="#aboutTQt">aboutTQt</a>(). +<p> If none of the standard message boxes is suitable, you can create a +TQMessageBox from scratch and use custom button texts: +<p> <pre> + TQMessageBox mb( "Application name here", + "Saving the file will overwrite the original file on the disk.\n" + "Do you really want to save?", + TQMessageBox::<a href="#Icon-enum">Information</a>, + TQMessageBox::Yes | TQMessageBox::Default, + TQMessageBox::No, + TQMessageBox::Cancel | TQMessageBox::Escape ); + mb.<a href="#setButtonText">setButtonText</a>( TQMessageBox::Yes, "Save" ); + mb.<a href="#setButtonText">setButtonText</a>( TQMessageBox::No, "Discard" ); + switch( mb.<a href="tqdialog.html#exec">exec</a>() ) { + case TQMessageBox::Yes: + // save and exit + break; + case TQMessageBox::No: + // exit without saving + break; + case TQMessageBox::Cancel: + // don't save and don't exit + break; + } + </pre> + +<p> TQMessageBox defines two enum types: Icon and an unnamed button type. +Icon defines the <a href="#Icon-enum">Question</a>, <a href="#Icon-enum">Information</a>, <a href="#Icon-enum">Warning</a>, and <a href="#Icon-enum">Critical</a> icons for each GUI style. It is used by the constructor +and by the static member functions <a href="#question">question</a>(), <a href="#information">information</a>(), +<a href="#warning">warning</a>() and <a href="#critical">critical</a>(). A function called <a href="#standardIcon">standardIcon</a>() gives +you access to the various icons. +<p> The button types are: +<ul> +<li> Ok - the default for single-button message boxes +<li> Cancel - note that this is <em>not</em> automatically Escape +<li> Yes +<li> No +<li> Abort +<li> Retry +<li> Ignore +<li> YesAll +<li> NoAll +</ul> +<p> Button types can be combined with two modifiers by using OR, '|': +<ul> +<li> Default - makes pressing Enter equivalent to +clicking this button. Normally used with Ok, Yes or similar. +<li> Escape - makes pressing Escape equivalent to clicking this button. +Normally used with Abort, Cancel or similar. +</ul> +<p> The <a href="#text">text</a>(), <a href="#icon">icon</a>() and <a href="#iconPixmap">iconPixmap</a>() functions provide access to the +current text and pixmap of the message box. The <a href="#setText">setText</a>(), <a href="#setIcon">setIcon</a>() +and <a href="#setIconPixmap">setIconPixmap</a>() let you change it. The difference between +setIcon() and setIconPixmap() is that the former accepts a +TQMessageBox::Icon and can be used to set standard icons, whereas the +latter accepts a <a href="tqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> and can be used to set custom icons. +<p> <a href="#setButtonText">setButtonText</a>() and <a href="#buttonText">buttonText</a>() provide access to the buttons. +<p> TQMessageBox has no signals or slots. +<p> <img src=qmsgbox-m.png> <img src=qmsgbox-w.png> +<p> <p>See also <a href="tqdialog.html">TQDialog</a>, <a href="http://www.iarchitect.com/errormsg.htm + ">Isys on error messages</a>, <a href="guibooks.html#fowler">GUI Design Handbook: Message Box</a>, and <a href="dialogs.html">Dialog Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="Icon-enum"></a>TQMessageBox::Icon</h3> + +<p> This enum has the following values: +<ul> +<li><tt>TQMessageBox::NoIcon</tt> - the message box does not have any icon. +<li><tt>TQMessageBox::Question</tt> - an icon indicating that +the message is asking a question. +<li><tt>TQMessageBox::Information</tt> - an icon indicating that +the message is nothing out of the ordinary. +<li><tt>TQMessageBox::Warning</tt> - an icon indicating that the +message is a warning, but can be dealt with. +<li><tt>TQMessageBox::Critical</tt> - an icon indicating that +the message represents a critical problem. +</ul><p> +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMessageBox"></a>TQMessageBox::TQMessageBox ( <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 ) +</h3> +Constructs a message box with no text and a button with the label +"OK". +<p> If <em>parent</em> is 0, the message box becomes an application-global +modal dialog box.
