GtkMessageDialog
presents a dialog with an image representing the type of
message (Error, Question, etc.) alongside some message text. It's simply a
convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of GtkMessageDialog
from GtkDialog
without too much effort, but GtkMessageDialog
saves typing.
The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use gtkDialogRun
, though
you can also pass in the GTK_DIALOG_MODAL
flag, gtkDialogRun
automatically
makes the dialog modal and waits for the user to respond to it. gtkDialogRun
returns when any dialog button is clicked.
# A Modal dialog
dialog <- gtkMessageDialog(main_application_window, "destroy-with-parent",
"error", "close",
"Error loading file '", filename, "': ", message)dialog$run()
dialog$destroy()
You might do a non-modal GtkMessageDialog
as follows:
dialog <- gtkMessageDialog(main_application_window, "destroy-with-parent",
"error", "close",
"Error loading file '", filename, "': ", message)
# Destroy the dialog when the user responds to it (e.g. clicks a button) gSignalConnect(dialog, "response", gtkWidgetDestroy)
gtkMessageDialog
is the result of collapsing the constructors of GtkMessageDialog
(gtkMessageDialogNew
, gtkMessageDialogNewWithMarkup
) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.GtkDialog
