Class Details

class Gtk.MessageDialog(*args, **kwargs)

Bases:

Gtk.Dialog

Abstract:

No

Structure:

Gtk.MessageDialogClass

Gtk.MessageDialog presents a dialog with some message text. It’s simply a convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of Gtk.MessageDialogfrom Gtk.Dialog without too much effort, but Gtk.MessageDialog saves typing.

One difference from Gtk.Dialog is that Gtk.MessageDialog sets theGtk.Window :skip-taskbar-hint property to True, so that the dialog is hidden from the taskbar by default.

The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use Gtk.Dialog.run(), though you can also pass in the Gtk.DialogFlags.MODAL flag, Gtk.Dialog.run() automatically makes the dialog modal and waits for the user to respond to it. Gtk.Dialog.run() returns when any dialog button is clicked.

An example for using a modal dialog:

GtkDialogFlags flags = GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT; dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window, flags, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE, "Error reading “%s”: %s", filename, g_strerror (errno)); gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog)); gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);

You might do a non-modal Gtk.MessageDialog as follows:

An example for a non-modal dialog:

GtkDialogFlags flags = GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT; dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window, flags, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE, "Error reading “%s”: %s", filename, g_strerror (errno));

// Destroy the dialog when the user responds to it // (e.g. clicks a button)

g_signal_connect_swapped (dialog, "response", G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy), dialog);

Gtk.MessageDialog as Gtk.Buildable

The Gtk.MessageDialog implementation of the Gtk.Buildable interface exposes the message area as an internal child with the name “message_area”.

format_secondary_markup(message_format)[source]

The type of the None singleton.

New in version 2.6.

format_secondary_text(message_format)[source]
