AdwMessageDialog

since: 1.2

Description [src] 

class Adw.MessageDialog : Gtk.Window
  implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget, Gtk.Native, Gtk.Root, Gtk.ShortcutManager {
  /* No available fields */
}

A dialog presenting a message or a question.

message-dialog

Message dialogs have a heading, a body, an optional child widget, and one or multiple responses, each presented as a button.

Each response has a unique string ID, and a button label. Additionally, each response can be enabled or disabled, and can have a suggested or destructive appearance.

When one of the responses is activated, or the dialog is closed, the AdwMessageDialog::response signal will be emitted. This signal is detailed, and the detail, as well as the response parameter will be set to the ID of the activated response, or to the value of the AdwMessageDialog:close-response property if the dialog had been closed without activating any of the responses.

Response buttons can be presented horizontally or vertically depending on available space.

When a response is activated, AdwMessageDialog is closed automatically.

An example of using a message dialog:

GtkWidget *dialog;

dialog = adw_message_dialog_new (parent, _("Replace File?"), NULL);

adw_message_dialog_format_body (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog),
                                _("A file named “%s” already exists. Do you want to replace it?"),
                                filename);

adw_message_dialog_add_responses (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog),
                                  "cancel",  _("_Cancel"),
                                  "replace", _("_Replace"),
                                  NULL);

adw_message_dialog_set_response_appearance (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog), "replace", ADW_RESPONSE_DESTRUCTIVE);

adw_message_dialog_set_default_response (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel");
adw_message_dialog_set_close_response (ADW_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel");

g_signal_connect (dialog, "response", G_CALLBACK (response_cb), self);

gtk_window_present (GTK_WINDOW (dialog));

AdwMessageDialog as GtkBuildable

AdwMessageDialog supports adding responses in UI definitions by via the <responses> element that may contain multiple <response> elements, each respresenting a response.

Each of the <response> elements must have the id attribute specifying the response ID. The contents of the element are used as the response label.

Response labels can be translated with the usual translatable, context and comments attributes.

The <response> elements can also have enabled and/or appearance attributes. See adw_message_dialog_set_response_enabled() and adw_message_dialog_set_response_appearance() for details.

Example of an AdwMessageDialog UI definition:

<object class="AdwMessageDialog" id="dialog">
  <property name="heading" translatable="yes">Save Changes?</property>
  <property name="body" translatable="yes">Open documents contain unsaved changes. Changes which are not saved will be permanently lost.</property>
  <property name="default-response">save</property>
  <property name="close-response">cancel</property>
  <signal name="response" handler="response_cb"/>
  <responses>
    <response id="cancel" translatable="yes">_Cancel</response>
    <response id="discard" translatable="yes" appearance="destructive">_Discard</response>
    <response id="save" translatable="yes" appearance="suggested" enabled="false">_Save</response>
  </responses>
</object>

Accessibility

AdwMessageDialog uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_DIALOG role.
