How to configure the Show Message Box buttons

[internaltheory79]

Hello,

What I am looking to do is set up the OK and Cancel buttons for the action Show Message Box. Is there a way to set up the OK button to do something.

Here is what I am trying to do:
What I would like to is when I hit the ok button I want to open a folder.
I'd really like to learn how to configure the other buttons as well but the ok and cancel button explinations would be awesome.

you need to be opening the message box from a script or a plugin

so what you would do is this.

Code: Select all

# different styles available
# wx.ICON_EXCLAMATION
# wx.ICON_HAND
# wx.ICON_ERROR
# wx.ICON_QUESTION
# wx.ICON_INFORMATION

# these can be added to the styles above with a | as a seperator
# wx.YES_NO
# wx.OK

# this style can be added if the wx.YES_NO is used
# wx.NO_DEFAULT

# these styles can be added to any combination of the above 
# wx.STAY_ON_TOP
# wx.CANCEL

dlg = eg.MessageDialog(
    parent=eg.document.frame,
    message='This is a Test Message',
    caption='This shows in the dialog title bar',
    style=wx.YES_NO |  wx.ICON_QUESTION,
    pos=(100, 200) # this is for where you want the dialog to show up on the screen
)

if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_YES:
    CODE YOU WANT TO RUN IF THE YES BUTTON IS PRESSED
else:
    CODE YOU WANT TO RUN IF THE NO BUTTON IS PRESSED
dlg.Destroy()

this is all pseudo code and I have not tested it but it looks right. could have a typo somewhere tho

@ kgschlosser: I think he refers to

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.EventGhost.ShowMessageBox()

Hello internaltheory79,

if you press one of the buttons, EventGhost generates an event automatically, you should see it in the log if you press a button.
You can use this event to execute whatever action you want (e.g. open a folder)
