Vadim Zeitlin 7112cdd1f3 Add support for wxHELP button to wxMessageDialog.
Implement support for wxHELP for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxOSX/Cocoa (at least when
showing the message box from the main thread, there doesn't seem to be any way
to show more than three buttons with CFUserNotificationDisplayAlert() so
"Help" button is not supported when using it).

This is useful not only on its own, i.e. to allow the user to ask for help,
but also because it brings the total number of buttons supported by the
message dialog to 4, meaning that more choices can be offered to the user
(which is rarely, but not quite never, useful).

@class wxMessageDialog
This class represents a dialog that shows a single or multi-line message,
with a choice of OK, Yes, No and Cancel buttons.
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxOK}
Puts an Ok button in the message box. May be combined with @c wxCANCEL.
@style{wxCANCEL}
Puts a Cancel button in the message box. Must be combined with
either @c wxOK or @c wxYES_NO.
@style{wxYES_NO}
Puts Yes and No buttons in the message box. It is recommended to always
use @c wxCANCEL with this style as otherwise the message box won't have
a close button under wxMSW and the user will be forced to answer it.
@style{wxHELP}
Puts a Help button to the message box. This button can have special
appearance or be specially positioned if its label is not changed from
the default one. Notice that using this button is not supported when
showing a message box from non-main thread in wxOSX/Cocoa and it is not
supported in wxOSX/Carbon at all. @since 2.9.3.
@style{wxNO_DEFAULT}
Makes the "No" button default, can only be used with @c wxYES_NO.
@style{wxCANCEL_DEFAULT}
Makes the "Cancel" button default, can only be used with @c wxCANCEL
@style{wxYES_DEFAULT}
Makes the "Yes" button default, this is the default behaviour and
this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxNO_DEFAULT.
@style{wxOK_DEFAULT}
Makes the "OK" button default, this is the default behaviour and
this flag exists solely for symmetry with @c wxCANCEL_DEFAULT.
@style{wxICON_NONE}
Displays no icon in the dialog if possible (an icon might still be
displayed if the current platform mandates its use). This style may be
used to prevent the dialog from using the default icon based on @c
wxYES_NO presence as explained in @c wxICON_QUESTION and @c
wxICON_INFORMATION documentation below.
@style{wxICON_EXCLAMATION}
Displays an exclamation, or warning, icon in the dialog.
@style{wxICON_ERROR}
Displays an error icon in the dialog.
@style{wxICON_HAND}
Displays an error symbol, this is a MSW-inspired synonym for @c wxICON_ERROR.
@style{wxICON_QUESTION}
Displays a question mark symbol. This icon is automatically used
with @c wxYES_NO so it's usually unnecessary to specify it explicitly.
This style is not supported for message dialogs under wxMSW when a task
dialog is used to implement them (i.e. when running under Windows Vista
or later) because <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511273.aspx">Microsoft
guidelines</a> indicate that no icon should be used for routine
confirmations. If it is specified, no icon will be displayed.
@style{wxICON_INFORMATION}
Displays an information symbol. This icon is used by default if
@c wxYES_NO is not given so it is usually unnecessary to specify it
explicitly.
@style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
Makes the message box stay on top of all other windows and not only
just its parent (currently implemented only under MSW and GTK).
@style{wxCENTRE}
Centre the message box on its parent or on the screen if parent is not
specified.
Setting this style under MSW makes no differences as the dialog is
always centered on the parent.

The arguments of this function can be either strings or one of the
standard identifiers, such as @c wxID_APPLY or @c wxID_OPEN. Notice
that even if the label is specified as an identifier, the return value
of the dialog ShowModal() method still remains one of @c wxID_OK, @c
wxID_CANCEL, @c wxID_YES or @c wxID_NO values, i.e. this identifier
changes only the label appearance but not the return code generated by
the button. It is possible to mix stock identifiers and string labels
in the same function call, for example:
@code
wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
dlg.SetYesNoLabels(wxID_SAVE, _("&Don't save"));
@endcode
Also notice that this function is not currently available on all
platforms (although as of wxWidgets 2.9.0 it is implemented in all
major ports), so it may return @false to indicate that the labels
couldn't be changed. If it returns @true, the labels were set
successfully.
Typically, if the function was used successfully, the main dialog
message may need to be changed, e.g.:
@code
wxMessageDialog dlg(...);
if ( dlg.SetYesNoLabels(_("&Quit"), _("&Don't quit")) )
dlg.SetMessage(_("What do you want to do?"));
else // buttons have standard "Yes"/"No" values, so rephrase the question
dlg.SetMessage(_("Do you really want to quit?"));
@endcode

clicked unlike wxMessageBox() function.

/**
Show a general purpose message dialog.
This is a convenient function which is usually used instead of using
wxMessageDialog directly. Notice however that some of the features, such as
extended text and custom labels for the message box buttons, are not
provided by this function but only by wxMessageDialog.
The return value is one of: @c wxYES, @c wxNO, @c wxCANCEL, @c wxOK or @c
wxHELP (notice that this return value is @b different from the return value
of wxMessageDialog::ShowModal()).
For example:
@code
int answer = wxMessageBox("Quit program?", "Confirm",
wxYES_NO | wxCANCEL, main_frame);
if (answer == wxYES)
main_frame->Close();
@endcode
@a message may contain newline characters, in which case the message will
be split into separate lines, to cater for large messages.
@param message
Message to show in the dialog.
@param caption
The dialog title.
@param parent
Parent window.
@param style
Combination of style flags described in wxMessageDialog documentation.
@param x
Horizontal dialog position (ignored under MSW). Use ::wxDefaultCoord
for @a x and @a y to let the system position the window.
@param y
Vertical dialog position (ignored under MSW).
