Syntax

    dialog.message(<caption>,<message_text>,<icon>,<button0>[,<button1>[,<button2>[,<magic1>[,<magic2>[...]]]]])
    {
        <callback_command>
    }

Description

Shows a message dialog box with the specified <caption> , <message_text> , <icon> and buttons.
<caption> is a text string that will appear in the caption of the dialog box.
<message_text> is a text string that will appear in the dialog box and can contain HTML formatting.
<icon> is an image identifier that defines an icon to be placed in the dialog box. <icon> can be a relative or absolute path to an image file , a signed number (in that case it defines an internal KVIrc image) or one of the special strings "critical", "information" and "warning".
<button0> is the text of the first button (on the left).
<button1> is the text of the second button (if empty or not given at all, only one button will appear in the dialog).
<button2> is the text of the third button (if empty or not given, only two buttons will appear in the dialog).
<magic1>,<magic2>... are the magic parameters: evaluated at dialog.message call time and passed to the <callback_command> as positional parameters.
Once the dialog has been shown , the user will click one of the buttons. At this point the dialog is hidden and the <callback_command> is executed passing the number of the button clicked as $0 and the magic parameters as positional parameters $1 , $2 , $3....
Please note that if the user closes the window with the window manager close button , the action is interpreted as a button2 click (that is usually sth as "Cancel").

Examples

    # Just a warning dialog
    dialog.message("Warning","You're being <b>warned</b>",warning,Ok){ echo The user clicked OK; }
    # A question
    dialog.message("And now ?","What do you want to do ?",information,"Go home","Watch TV","Scream")
    {
        if($0 == 0)echo "The user want's to go home"
        else if($0 == 1)echo "The user want's to watch TV"
        else echo "The user wants to scream!"
    }
