Re: Message box

[Todd Fisher <taf2 lehigh edu>]

Hi Alf,
I use the following:

error_message( GtkWidget *parent,
               const gchar *title,
               const gchar *msgformat, ... )
{
 GtkWidget *dialog, *label;
 va_list args;
 gchar *message;
 dialog = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons( title,
                                       GTK_WINDOW( parent ),
                                       GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                                       GTK_STOCK_OK,
                                       GTK_RESPONSE_NONE,
                                       NULL );
                                                                                                                          

 if( msgformat ){
   va_start( args, msgformat );
   message = g_strdup_vprintf( msgformat, args );
   va_end( args );
   label = gtk_label_new( message );
   gtk_label_set_selectable( GTK_LABEL( label ), TRUE );
   g_free( message );
 }
 else{
   label = gtk_label_new( "Undetermined Error" );
   gtk_label_set_selectable( GTK_LABEL( label ), TRUE );
 }
                                                                                                                          

 gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER( GTK_DIALOG( dialog )->vbox ), label );
 gtk_widget_show( label );
                                                                                                                          

 gtk_dialog_run( GTK_DIALOG( dialog ) );
 gtk_widget_destroy( dialog );
}
