message_box

A simple message box for the D programming language

Discussion

It should work without requiring any 3rd party GUI toolkits. But will work with what it can find on your OS at runtime.

It tries to use the following:

* DlangUI (win32 on Windows or SDL2 on Linux)

* SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox (Derelict SDL2)

* MessageBoxW (Windows)

* Zenity (Gtk/Gnome)

* Kdialog (KDE)

* gxmessage (X11)

Examples

      import std.stdio : stdout, stderr;
import message_box : MessageBox, IconType, RUN_MAIN;

mixin RUN_MAIN;

extern (C) int UIAppMain(string[] args) {
	// Create the message box
	auto dialog = new MessageBox("Party Time", "The roof is on fire!", IconType.Warning);

	// Set the error handler
	dialog.onError((Throwable err) {
		stderr.writefln("Failed to show message box: %s", err);
	});

	// Show the message box
	dialog.show();

	return 0;
}
