## Detailed Description

Convenient message window.

Gtk::MessageDialog presents a dialog with an image representing the type of message (Error, Question, etc.) alongside some message text. It's simply a convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of Gtk::MessageDialog from Gtk::Dialog without too much effort, but Gtk::MessageDialog saves typing.

A MessageDialog looks like this:

virtual Gtk::MessageDialog::~MessageDialog | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::MessageDialog::MessageDialog | ( | const Glib::ustring & | message,
|  | bool | use_markup = `false`,
|  | MessageType | type = `MESSAGE_INFO`,
|  | ButtonsType | buttons = `BUTTONS_OK`,
|  | bool | modal = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit]`

Gtk::MessageDialog::MessageDialog | ( | Gtk::Window& | parent,

## Member Function Documentation

const Widget* Gtk::MessageDialog::get_image | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the dialog's image.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns:
  The dialog's image.

Widget* Gtk::MessageDialog::get_image | ( |  | ) |

Gets the dialog's image.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns:
  The dialog's image.

const VBox* Gtk::MessageDialog::get_message_area | ( |  | ) | const

Since gtkmm 2.22:

Returns:
  A Gtk::VBox corresponding to the "message area" in the message_dialog. This is the box where the dialog's primary and secondary labels are packed. You can add your own extra content to that box and it will appear below those labels, on the right side of the dialog's image (or on the left for right-to-left languages). See Gtk::Dialog::get_content_area() for the corresponding function in the parent Gtk::Dialog.
