A standard dialog for confirmation or to get simple user input.
The message box shows a message in a dialog window, with a number of buttons. These buttons may be standard buttons, or customized.
There are two distinct ways for using a WMessageBox, which reflect the two ways of dealing with a WDialog box.
The easiest way is using the static show() method, which shows a message box, blocks the current thread, and returns the button that was pressed by the user. Since this uses the WDialog::exec(), it suffers from the same scalability issues.
The more elaborate way is by creating a WMessageBox, and connecting the buttonClicked signal to a method. This method then interpretes the result and deletes the message box.
Example code (using the exec() method):
StandardButton result = WMessageBox::show("Confirm", "About to wreak havoc... Continue ?", Ok | Cancel);
This will show a message box that looks like this:

The strings used in the WMessageBox buttons can be translated by overriding the default values for the following localization keys:
A WMessageBox can be styled using the Wt-dialog and Wt-outset style classes from it's superclass WDialog. The messagebox' buttons can be styled using Wt-msgbox-buttons style class.
| WPushButton * Wt::WMessageBox::addButton | ( | const WString & | text, |
| StandardButton | result | ||
| ) |
Add a custom button with given text.
When the button is clicked, the associated result will be returned.
| WPushButton * Wt::WMessageBox::button | ( | StandardButton | b ) |

This may be useful to customize the style or layout of the button.
| StandardButton Wt::WMessageBox::buttonResult | ( | ) |
