YesNoCancelBox Function

Overview

The YesNoCancelBox function displays a message box with the “Yes”, “No”, and “Cancel” buttons or queries via the default console.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = YesNoCancelBox ( [int type], string message, [parameters ... ] );

Parameters

type

An optional int containing an icon type. This parameter can also contain a char value that resolves to an integer. The permissible values are:

	'I'	MB_INFO	Information
	'N'	MB_NONE	None (no icon)
	'Q'	MB_QUESTION	Question
	'S'	MB_STOP	Stop
	'X'	MB_EXCLAMATION	Exclamation

 

The parameter selection does not change the buttons presented and type is not case-sensitive. See Message Box introduction for more information.

message

A string to display. If additional parameters are present, message is considered a formatted string. See Section 5.2 String Functions for more information on formatted strings.

parameters

Zero or more parameters to be formatted and inserted into message. If no parameters are supplied, message is simply passed through to the result string.

Return Value

Returns an int as a formatted error code or a standard Windows ID code: IDCANCEL, IDYES or IDNO.

Remarks

Do not call the YesNoCancelBox function from background threads or the command line; it returns automatically without displaying the dialog. The YesNoCancelBox function supports a maximum of 4096 characters.

The YesNoCancelBox function permits the usage of a formatted string to display information. Formatted strings allow numeric and other data to be formatted into a string for appropriate display. The format of the string and the data to be inserted depend upon the structure of the message parameter and the contents of the additional parameters passed to the function. For more information on formatted strings, see Formatted Strings in Section 5.2 String Functions.

Message boxes with a query cannot be opened by scripts running in the background.

When running a console version of Legato, the message is dumped to the standard console output unless specifically overridden by the UseMessageBoxes function. The query is performed from console input.
