MessageCtrl package for U++
February 13, 2021 ยท View on GitHub
This package implements a messages manager widget. Messages are simple message boxes similar to prompts in that they can allow the same basic user actions. However, message boxes are not meant as a replacement for the traditional U++ dialogs. The main difference between the messages and the prompts is that the message boxes are implemented as frames instead of dialogs, and are meant to be less intrusive, and non-blocking.
Message box types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Information | Should be used to display common information. |
| Warning | Should be used to report non-critical issue, to inform not everything is all right. |
| OK | Should be used to display successful operations. Essentially this is an information notification. |
| Question | Should be used to ask for some interaction. |
| Error | Should be used to display critical application errors |
| Custom | If the predefined notification types don't suit your needs, you can create one. |
Message boxes use QTF texts. This allows for embedding hyperlinks in messages. It also means that in some cases the text messages should be escaped, using DeQtf() function.
