It can contain controls and other windows and is often used to allow the user to make some choice or to answer a question. Dialogs can be made scrollable, automatically, for computers with low resolution screens: please see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling for further details. Dialogs usually contains either a single button allowing to close the dialog or two buttons, one accepting the changes and the other one discarding them (such button, if present, is automatically activated if the user presses the "Esc" key). By default, buttons with the standard wxID_OK and wxID_CANCEL identifiers behave as expected. Starting with wxWidgets 2.7 it is also possible to use a button with a different identifier instead, see SetAffirmativeId() and SetEscapeId(). Also notice that the CreateButtonSizer() should be used to create the buttons appropriate for the current platform and positioned correctly (including their order which is platform-dependent). @section dialog_modal Modal and Modeless There are two kinds of dialog, modal and modeless. A modal dialog blocks program flow and user input on other windows until it is dismissed, whereas a modeless dialog behaves more like a frame in that program flow continues, and input in other windows is still possible. To show a modal dialog you should use the ShowModal() method while to show a dialog modelessly you simply use Show(), just as with frames. Note that the modal dialog is one of the very few examples of wxWindow-derived objects which may be created on the stack and not on the heap. In other words, while most windows would be created like this: @code void AskUser() { MyAskDialog *dlg = new MyAskDialog(...); if ( dlg->ShowModal() == wxID_OK ) // ... //else: dialog was cancelled or some another button pressed dlg->Destroy(); } @endcode You can achieve the same result with dialogs by using simpler code: @code void AskUser() { MyAskDialog dlg(...); if ( dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK ) // ... // no need to call Destroy() here } @endcode An application can define a wxCloseEvent handler for the dialog to respond to system close events. @beginStyleTable @style{wxCAPTION} Puts a caption on the dialog box. @style{wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE} Equivalent to a combination of wxCAPTION, wxCLOSE_BOX and wxSYSTEM_MENU (the last one is not used under Unix). @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER} Display a resizable frame around the window. @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU} Display a system menu. @style{wxCLOSE_BOX} Displays a close box on the frame. @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX} Displays a maximize box on the dialog. @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX} Displays a minimize box on the dialog. @style{wxTHICK_FRAME} Display a thick frame around the window. @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP} The dialog stays on top of all other windows. @style{wxNO_3D} This style is obsolete and doesn't do anything any more, don't use it in any new code. @style{wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT} By default, a dialog created with a @NULL parent window will be given the @ref wxApp::GetTopWindow() "application's top level window" as parent. Use this style to prevent this from happening and create an orphan dialog. This is not recommended for modal dialogs. @style{wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP} Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed, Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets will send a @c wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by calling SetExtraStyle() before Create is called (two-step construction). @style{wxDIALOG_EX_METAL} On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic look. This is an extra style. @endStyleTable Under Unix or Linux, MWM (the Motif Window Manager) or other window managers recognizing the MHM hints should be running for any of these styles to have an effect. @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCloseEvent} @event{EVT_CLOSE(func)} The dialog is being closed by the user or programmatically (see wxWindow::Close). The user may generate this event clicking the close button (typically the 'X' on the top-right of the title bar) if it's present (see the @c wxCLOSE_BOX style) or by clicking a button with the @c wxID_CANCEL or @c wxID_OK ids. @event{EVT_INIT_DIALOG(func)} Process a @c wxEVT_INIT_DIALOG event. See wxInitDialogEvent. @endEventTable @library{wxcore} @category{cmndlg} @see @ref overview_dialog, wxFrame, @ref overview_validator */ class wxDialog : public wxTopLevelWindow { public: /** Default constructor. */ wxDialog(); /** Constructor. @param parent Can be @NULL, a frame or another dialog box. @param id An identifier for the dialog.
