Detailed Description

A window that displays a message and has buttons for the user to react to it.

For simple dialog boxes with just a couple of buttons on them, there are some static methods for running these.

For more complex dialogs, an AlertWindow can be created, then it can have some buttons and components added to it, and its runModalLoop() method is then used to show it. The value returned by runModalLoop() shows which button the user pressed to dismiss the box.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getAlertType()

AlertIconType AlertWindow::getAlertType ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the type of alert icon that was specified when the window was created.

◆ setMessage()

void AlertWindow::setMessage ( const String message)

Changes the dialog box's message.

This will also resize the window to fit the new message if required.

◆ addButton()

void AlertWindow::addButton ( const String name,
int  returnValue,
const KeyPress shortcutKey1 = KeyPress(),
const KeyPress shortcutKey2 = KeyPress() 
)

Adds a button to the window.

Parameters

◆ setEscapeKeyCancels()

void AlertWindow::setEscapeKeyCancels ( bool  shouldEscapeKeyCancel)

If set to true and the window contains no buttons, then pressing the escape key will make the alert cancel its modal state.

By default this setting is true - turn it off if you don't want the box to respond to the escape key. Note that it is ignored if you have any buttons, and in that case you should give the buttons appropriate keypresses to trigger cancelling if you want to.

)
static

Shows a dialog box that just has a message and a single button to get rid of it.

The box is shown modally, and the method will block until the user has clicked the button (or pressed the escape or return keys).

Parameters
iconTypethe type of icon to show
titlethe headline to show at the top of the box

)
static

Shows a dialog box that just has a message and a single button to get rid of it.

The box will be displayed and placed into a modal state, but this method will return immediately, and if a callback was supplied, it will be invoked later when the user dismisses the box.

Parameters
iconTypethe type of icon to show
titlethe headline to show at the top of the box
messagea longer, more descriptive message to show underneath the headline
buttonTextthe text to show in the button - if this string is empty, the default string "OK" (or a localised version) will be used.

const String button1Text = String(),
const String button2Text = String(),
Component associatedComponent = nullptr,
ModalComponentManager::Callback callback = nullptr 
)
static

Shows a dialog box with two buttons.

Ideal for ok/cancel or yes/no choices. The return key can also be used to trigger the first button, and the escape key for the second button.

If the callback parameter is null, the box is shown modally, and the method will block until the user has clicked the button (or pressed the escape or return keys). If the callback parameter is non-null, the box will be displayed and placed into a modal state, but this method will return immediately, and the callback will be invoked later when the user dismisses the box.

Parameters
iconTypethe type of icon to show
titlethe headline to show at the top of the box
messagea longer, more descriptive message to show underneath the headline

button2Textthe text to show in the second button - if this string is empty, the default string "cancel" (or a localised version of it) will be used.
associatedComponentif this is non-null, it specifies the component that the alert window should be associated with. Depending on the look and feel, this might be used for positioning of the alert window.
callbackif this is non-null, the menu will be launched asynchronously, returning immediately, and the callback will receive a call to its modalStateFinished() when the box is dismissed, with its parameter being 1 if the ok button was pressed, or 0 for cancel. The callback object will be owned and deleted by the system, so make sure that it works safely and doesn't keep any references to objects that might be deleted before it gets called.
Returns
true if button 1 was clicked, false if it was button 2. If the callback parameter is not null, the method always returns false, and the user's choice is delivered later by the callback.

◆ showYesNoCancelBox()

static int JUCE_CALLTYPE AlertWindow::showYesNoCancelBox ( AlertIconType  iconType,
const String title,
const String message,
const String button1Text = String(),
const String button2Text = String(),
const String button3Text = String(),
Component associatedComponent = nullptr,
ModalComponentManager::Callback callback = nullptr 
)
static

Shows a dialog box with three buttons.

Ideal for yes/no/cancel boxes.

The escape key can be used to trigger the third button.

If the callback parameter is null, the box is shown modally, and the method will block until the user has clicked the button (or pressed the escape or return keys). If the callback parameter is non-null, the box will be displayed and placed into a modal state, but this method will return immediately, and the callback will be invoked later when the user dismisses the box.

Parameters
iconTypethe type of icon to show

callbackif this is non-null, the menu will be launched asynchronously, returning immediately, and the callback will receive a call to its modalStateFinished() when the box is dismissed, with its parameter being 1 if the "yes" button was pressed, 2 for the "no" button, or 0 if it was cancelled. The callback object will be owned and deleted by the system, so make sure that it works safely and doesn't keep any references to objects that might be deleted before it gets called.
Returns
If the callback parameter has been set, this returns 0. Otherwise, it returns one of the following values:
  • 0 if the third button was pressed (normally used for 'cancel')
  • 1 if the first button was pressed (normally used for 'yes')
  • 2 if the middle button was pressed (normally used for 'no')
