An idiomatic Rust interface for the Windows message box API.
One can simply use the windows crate to invoke this api, but the api is a rather old-fashioned C-style API, so its rather unintuitive for a Rust developer without C programming experience to use. This create wraps the raw API with a familiar interface and provides more complete documentation about how to use it than the official crate documentation does.
A Windows message box looks like this:
You have the ability to make the following changes:
- Change the header (or display a default header)
- Change the body text
- Choose the available buttons from among a fixed set. You cannot edit button text
- Change the icon (or display no icon)
use win_dialog::{style, Icon, WinDialog};
fn main() {
let res =
WinDialog::new("We encountered an error during installation. What would you like to do?")
.with_style(style::AbortRetryIgnore)
.with_icon(Icon::Hand)
.show()
.unwrap();
println!("{res:?}");
}- Dialog timeouts
