Description</h2><p>The QMessageBox class provides a modal dialog with a short message, an icon, and some buttons.</p>
<p>Message boxes are used to provide informative messages and to ask simple questions.</p>
<p>QMessageBox provides a range of different messages, arranged roughly along two axes: severity and complexity.</p>
<p>Severity is</p>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1">
<tr bgcolor="#F0F0F0" valign="top">
<td>
<p align="center"><img src="images/qmessagebox-quest.png" /></p>
</td>
<td>Question</td>
<td>For message boxes that ask a question as part of normal operation. Some style guides recommend using Information for this purpose.</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#E0E0E0" valign="top">
<td>
<p align="center"><img src="images/qmessagebox-info.png" /></p>
</td>
<td>Information</td>
<td>For message boxes that are part of normal operation.</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#F0F0F0" valign="top">
<td>
<p align="center"><img src="images/qmessagebox-warn.png" /></p>
</td>
<td>Warning</td>
<td>For message boxes that tell the user about unusual errors.</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#E0E0E0" valign="top">
<td>
<p align="center"><img src="images/qmessagebox-crit.png" /></p>
</td>
<td>Critical</td>
<td>For message boxes that tell the user about critical errors.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<br />
<p>The message box has a different icon for each of the severity levels.</p>
<p>Complexity is one button (OK) for simple messages, or two or even three buttons for questions.</p>
<p>There are static functions for the most common cases.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<p>If a program is unable to find a supporting file, but can do perfectly well without it:</p>
<pre>
QMessageBox.information(this, "Application name",
"Unable to find the user preferences file.\n"
"The factory default will be used instead.");
</pre>
<p><a href="qmessagebox.html#question">question</a>() is useful for simple yes/no questions:</p>
<pre>
if (QFile.exists(filename) &&
QMessageBox.question(
this,
tr("Overwrite File? -- Application Name"),
tr("A file called %1 already exists."
"Do you want to overwrite it?")
.arg(filename),
tr("&Yes"), tr("&No"),
QString(), 0, 1))
return false;
</pre>
<p><a href="qmessagebox.html#warning">warning</a>() can be used to tell the user about unusual errors, or errors which can't be easily fixed:</p>
<pre>
switch(QMessageBox.warning(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 QStyleSheet.defaultSheet() 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 QStyleSheet.convertFromPlainText() to convert your plain text string to a visually equivalent rich text string or set the text format explicitly with <a href="qmessagebox.html#textFormat-prop">setTextFormat</a>().</p>
<p>Note that the Microsoft Windows User Interface Guidelines recommend using the application name as the window's caption.</p>
<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>
<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(QMessageBox.information(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>
<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(QMessageBox.warning(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.",
QMessageBox.Retry | QMessageBox.Default,
QMessageBox.Abort | QMessageBox.Escape)) {
case QMessageBox.Retry: // Retry clicked or Enter pressed
// try again
break;
case QMessageBox.Abort: // Abort clicked or Escape pressed
// abort
break;
}
</pre>
<p>The <a href="qmessagebox.html#critical">critical</a>() function should be reserved for critical errors. In this example errorDetails is a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> or const char*, and <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> is used to concatenate several strings:</p>
<pre>
QMessageBox.critical(0, "Application name here",
QString("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>
<p>QMessageBox provides a very simple About box which displays an appropriate icon and the string you provide:</p>
<pre>
QMessageBox.about(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="qmessagebox.html#about">about</a>() for more information.</p>
<p>If you want your users to know that the application is built using Qt (so they know that you use high quality tools) you might like to add an "About Qt" menu option under the Help menu to invoke <a href="qmessagebox.html#aboutQt">aboutQt</a>().</p>
<p>If none of the standard message boxes is suitable, you can create a QMessageBox from scratch and use custom button texts:</p>
<pre>
QMessageBox mb("Application name here",
"Saving the file will overwrite the original file on the disk.\n"
"Do you really want to save?",
QMessageBox.Information,
QMessageBox.Yes | QMessageBox.Default,
QMessageBox.No,
QMessageBox.Cancel | QMessageBox.Escape);
mb.setButtonText(QMessageBox.Yes, "Save");
mb.setButtonText(QMessageBox.No, "Discard");
switch(mb.exec()) {
case QMessageBox.Yes:
// save and exit
break;
case QMessageBox.No:
// exit without saving
break;
case QMessageBox.Cancel:
// don't save and don't exit
break;
}
</pre>
<p>QMessageBox defines two enum types: Icon and an unnamed button type. Icon defines the <a href="qmessagebox.html#Icon-enum">Question</a>, <a href="qmessagebox.html#Icon-enum">Information</a>, <a href="qmessagebox.html#Icon-enum">Warning</a>, and <a href="qmessagebox.html#Icon-enum">Critical</a> icons for each GUI style. It is used by the constructor and by the static member functions <a href="qmessagebox.html#question">question</a>(), <a href="qmessagebox.html#information">information</a>(), <a href="qmessagebox.html#warning">warning</a>() and <a href="qmessagebox.html#critical">critical</a>(). A function called <a href="qmessagebox-qt3.html#standardIcon">standardIcon</a>() gives you access to the various icons.</p>
<p>The button types are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ok - the default for single-button message boxes</li>
<li>Cancel - note that this is <i>not</i> automatically Escape</li>
<li>Yes</li>
<li>No</li>
<li>Abort</li>
<li>Retry</li>
<li>Ignore</li>
<li><a href="qmessagebox.html#Button-enum">YesAll</a></li>
<li><a href="qmessagebox.html#Button-enum">NoAll</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Button types can be combined with two modifiers by using OR, '|':</p>
<ul>
<li>Default - makes pressing Enter equivalent to clicking this button. Normally used with Ok, Yes or similar.</li>
<li>Escape - makes pressing Escape equivalent to clicking this button. Normally used with Abort, Cancel or similar.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="qmessagebox.html#text-prop">text</a>(), <a href="qmessagebox.html#icon-prop">icon</a>() and <a href="qmessagebox.html#iconPixmap-prop">iconPixmap</a>() functions provide access to the current text and pixmap of the message box. The <a href="qmessagebox.html#text-prop">setText</a>(), <a href="qmessagebox.html#icon-prop">setIcon</a>() and <a href="qmessagebox.html#iconPixmap-prop">setIconPixmap</a>() let you change it. The difference between <a href="qmessagebox.html#icon-prop">setIcon</a>() and <a href="qmessagebox.html#iconPixmap-prop">setIconPixmap</a>() is that the former accepts a <a href="qmessagebox.html#Icon-enum">QMessageBox.Icon</a> and can be used to set standard icons, whereas the latter accepts a <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> and can be used to set custom icons.</p>
<p><a href="qmessagebox.html#setButtonText">setButtonText</a>() and <a href="qmessagebox.html#buttonText">buttonText</a>() provide access to the buttons.</p>
<p>QMessageBox has no signals or slots.</p>
<p>The <a href="dialogs-standarddialogs.html">Standard Dialogs</a> example shows how to use QMessageBox as well as other built-in Qt dialogs.</p>

<p><i>button0Text</i> is the text of the first button, and is optional. If <i>button0Text</i> is not supplied, "OK" (translated) will be used. <i>button1Text</i> is the text of the second button, and is optional, and <i>button2Text</i> is the text of the third button, and is optional. <i>defaultButtonNumber</i> (0, 1 or 2) is the index of the default button; pressing Return or Enter is the same as clicking the default button. It defaults to 0 (the first button). <i>escapeButtonNumber</i> is the index of the Escape button; pressing Escape is the same as clicking this button. It defaults to -1; supply 0, 1, or 2 to make pressing Escape equivalent to clicking the relevant button.</p>
<p>If <i>parent</i> is 0, the message box becomes an application-global modal dialog box. If <i>parent</i> is a widget, the message box becomes modal relative to <i>parent</i>.</p>
<p>Note: If you do not specify an Escape button then if the Escape button is pressed then -1 will be returned. It is suggested that you specify an Escape button to prevent this from happening.</p>
