Features of the dialog box

  • The title of the dialog box corresponds to the title of the current window (or page).
  • To modify or define the title of dialog box, use NextTitle.
  • The message is aligned to the left.
  • The captions of buttons depend on the runtime language of Windows.
  • The maximum number of characters cannot exceed 4096. If a larger string is passed as parameter, it will be truncated.
  • The icon displayed (exclamation mark) cannot be modified.
WINDEV To customize this dialog box (and all the system dialog boxes in your application), check "Customize system windows (Info, YesNo, Confirm, Dialog)" in the "Style" tab of the project description. For more details, see Customizing dialog boxes.

Line break in the dialog box

The CR string (Carriage Return) can be used to force a break to the next line. For example:
IF OKCancel("Caution: you are going to delete this record" + CR + ...
"Do you want to continue?") THEN
HDelete(CUSTOMER)
END
is equivalent to:
IF OKCancel("Caution: this record will be deleted", ...
"Do you want to continue?") THEN
HDelete(CUSTOMER)
END
You also have the ability to use the syntax of multiline strings. For example:
OKCancel(
[
Caution: you are going to delete this record.

Do you want to continue?
])
