Dialogs

• Programming with gtkmm 3

Dialogs are used as secondary windows, to provide specific information or to ask questions. Gtk::Dialog windows contain a few pre-packed widgets to ensure consistency, and a run() method which blocks until the user dismisses the dialog.

There are several derived Dialog classes which you might find useful. Gtk::MessageDialog is used for most simple notifications. But at other times you might need to derive your own dialog class to provide more complex functionality.

To pack widgets into a custom dialog, you should pack them into the Gtk::Box, available via get_content_area(). To just add a Button to the bottom of the Dialog, you could use the add_button() method.

The run() method returns an int. This may be a value from the Gtk::ResponseType if the user closed the dialog by clicking a standard button, or it could be the custom response value that you specified when using add_button().
