Crate win_msgbox

Expand description

This crate provides a fully featured, ergonomic interface to Windows’ MessageBox.

All possible options are usable and return values are Rust enums (or structs if only one option is available).

All configuration is done through MessageBox and available buttons are configured via Options.

This crate uses wide strings. To create a wide string use the w! macro from windows or windows_sys.

Examples

Show a minimal message box with an OK button:

win_msgbox::show::<Okay>(w!("Hello World"));

Show a message box with an error icon, and match on the return value:

use CancelTryAgainContinue::*;
let response = win_msgbox::error::<CancelTryAgainContinue>(w!("Couldn't download resource"))
    .title(w!("Download Error"))
    .show()?;

match response {
    Cancel => println!("Cancelling downlaod..."),
    TryAgain => println!("Attempting redownload..."),
    Continue => println!("Skipping resource"),
}

Structs

MessageBox

A builder for a modal dialog box that contains a system icon, a set of buttons, and a brief application-specific message, such as status or error information.

Okay

The message box contains one push button: OK.
