XmCreateMessageBox -- the MessageBox widget creation function

Syntax

#include <Xm/MessageB.h>

Widget XmCreateMessageBox (parent, name, arglist, argcount) Widget parent; String name; ArgList arglist; Cardinal argcount;

Description

XmCreateMessageBox creates an unmanaged MessageBox. A MessageBox is used for common interaction tasks, which include giving information, asking questions, and reporting errors. It includes an optional symbol, a message, and three buttons.

By default, there is no symbol. The default button labels are ``OK'', ``Cancel'', and ``Help''.

If the parent of the MessageBox is a DialogShell, use XtManageChild to pop up the MessageBox (passing the MessageBox as the widget parameter); use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down.
