32 ;; Dialog boxes are non-modal at the C level, but made modal at the
33 ;; Lisp level via hacks in functions such as yes-or-no-p-dialog-box
34 ;; below. Perhaps there should be truly modal dialog boxes
35 ;; implemented at the C level for safety. All code using dialog boxes
36 ;; should be careful to assume that the environment, for example the
37 ;; current buffer, might be completely different after returning from
38 ;; yes-or-no-p-dialog-box, but such code is difficult to write and test.

123 TYPE is a symbol, the type of dialog box. Remaining arguments are
124 keyword-value pairs, specifying the particular characteristics of the
125 dialog box. The allowed keywords are particular to each type, but
126 some standard keywords are common to many types:
129 The title of the dialog box's window.
132 If true, indicates that XEmacs will wait until the user is \"done\"
133 with the dialog box (usually, this means that a response has been
134 given). Typically, the response is returned. NOTE: Some dialog
135 boxes are always modal. If the dialog box is modal, `make-dialog-box'
136 returns immediately. The return value will be either nil or a
137 dialog box handle of some sort, e.g. a frame for type `general'.
139 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
144 A dialog box consisting of an XEmacs glyph, typically a `layout'
145 widget specifying a dialog box arrangement. This is the most
146 general and powerful dialog box type, but requires more work than
147 the other types below.
150 A simple dialog box that displays a question and contains one or
151 more user-defined buttons to specify possible responses. (This is
152 compatible with the old built-in dialog boxes formerly specified
153 using `popup-dialog-box'.)
156 A file dialog box, of the type typically used in the window system
157 XEmacs is running on.
169 A dialog box used when printing (e.g. number of pages, printer).
172 A dialog box for setting page options (e.g. margins) for printing.
175 A find/replace dialog box.
178 An MS Windows-specific standard dialog box type similar to `question'.
180 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
184 This type creates a frame and puts the specified widget layout in it.
185 \(Currently this is done by eliminating all areas but the gutter and placing
186 the layout there; but this is an implementation detail and may change.)
188 The keywords allowed for `general' are
191 The widget spec -- anything that can be passed to `make-glyph'.
193 The title of the frame.
195 The frame is made a child of this frame (defaults to the selected frame).
197 Additional properties of the frame, as well as `dialog-frame-plist'.
199 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
203 The keywords allowed are
206 t or nil. When t, the dialog box callback should exit the dialog box
207 using the functions `dialog-box-finish' or `dialog-box-cancel'.
209 The title of the frame.
211 A string, the question.
213 A list, describing the buttons below the question. Each of these is a
214 vector, the syntax of which is essentially the same as that of popup menu
215 items. They may have any of the following forms:
217 [ \"name\" callback <active-p> ]
218 [ \"name\" callback <active-p> \"suffix\" ]
219 [ \"name\" callback :<keyword> <value> :<keyword> <value> ... ]
221 The name is the string to display on the button; it is filtered through the
222 resource database, so it is possible for resources to override what string
223 is actually displayed.
225 Accelerators can be indicated in the string by putting the sequence
226 \"%_\" before the character corresponding to the key that will invoke
227 the button. Uppercase and lowercase accelerators are equivalent. The
228 sequence \"%%\" is also special, and is translated into a single %.
230 If the `callback' of a button is a symbol, then it must name a command.
231 It will be invoked with `call-interactively'. If it is a list, then it is
232 evaluated with `eval'.
234 One (and only one) of the buttons may be `nil'. This marker means that all
235 following buttons should be flushright instead of flushleft.
237 Though the keyword/value syntax is supported for dialog boxes just as in
238 popup menus, the only keyword which is both meaningful and fully implemented
239 for dialog box buttons is `:active'.
241 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
245 The keywords allowed are
248 The initial filename to be placed in the dialog box (defaults to nothing).
250 The initial directory to be selected in the dialog box (defaults to the
251 current buffer's `default-directory).
253 A list of (filter-desc filter ...)
255 The title of the dialog box (defaults to \"Open\").
256 :allow-multi-select t or nil
257 :create-prompt-on-nonexistent t or nil
258 :overwrite-prompt t or nil
259 :file-must-exist t or nil
260 :no-network-button t or nil
261 :no-read-only-return t or nil
263 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
265 For type `directory':
267 The keywords allowed are
270 The initial directory to be selected in the dialog box (defaults to the
271 current buffer's `default-directory).
273 The title of the dialog box (defaults to \"Open\").
275 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
279 This invokes the Windows standard Print dialog.
280 This dialog is usually invoked when the user selects the Print command.
281 After the user presses OK, the program should start actual printout.
283 The keywords allowed are
286 An 'msprinter device.
288 A printer settings object.
290 t or nil -- whether the \"Selection\" button is enabled (defaults to nil).
292 t or nil -- whether the \"Pages\" button and associated edit controls
293 are enabled (defaults to t).
294 :selected-page-button
295 `all', `selection', or `pages' -- which page button is initially
298 Exactly one of :device and :print-settings must be given.
300 The function brings up the Print dialog, where the user can
301 select a different printer and/or change printer options. Connection
302 name can change as a result of selecting a different printer device. If
303 a device is specified, then changes are stored into the settings object
304 currently selected into that printer. If a settings object is supplied,
305 then changes are recorded into it, and, it is selected into a
306 printer, then changes are propagated to that printer
309 Return value is nil if the user has canceled the dialog. Otherwise, it
310 is a new plist, with the following properties:
311 name Printer device name, even if unchanged by the user.
312 from-page First page to print, 1-based. Returned if
313 `selected-page-button' is `pages'.
314 user, then this value is not included in the plist.
315 to-page Last page to print, inclusive, 1-based. Returned if
316 `selected-page-button' is `pages'.
317 copies Number of copies to print. Always returned.
318 selected-page-button Which page button was selected (`all', `selection',
321 The DEVICE is destroyed and an error is signaled in case of
322 initialization problem with the new printer.
324 See also the `page-setup' dialog box type.
326 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
328 For type `page-setup':
330 This invokes the Windows standard Page Setup dialog.
331 This dialog is usually invoked in response to the Page Setup command,
332 and used to choose such parameters as page orientation, print margins
333 etc. Note that this dialog contains the \"Printer\" button, which
334 invokes the Printer Setup dialog so that the user can update the
335 printer options or even select a different printer as well.
337 The keywords allowed are
340 An 'msprinter device.
342 A printer settings object.
344 A plist of job properties.
346 Exactly one of these keywords must be given.
348 The function brings up the Page Setup dialog, where the user
349 can select a different printer and/or change printer options.
350 Connection name can change as a result of selecting a different printer
351 device. If a device is specified, then changes are stored into the
352 settings object currently selected into that printer. If a settings
353 object is supplied, then changes are recorded into it, and, it is
354 selected into a printer, then changes are propagated to that printer
357 :properties specifies a plist of job properties;
358 see `default-msprinter-frame-plist' for the complete list. The plist
359 is used to initialize the dialog.
361 Return value is nil if the user has canceled the dialog. Otherwise,
362 it is a new plist, containing the new list of properties.
364 NOTE: The margin properties (returned by this function) are *NOT* stored
365 into the print-settings or device object.
367 The DEVICE is destroyed and an error is signaled in case of
368 initialization problem with the new printer.
370 See also the `print' dialog box type.
372 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
374 For type `mswindows-message':
376 The keywords allowed are
379 The title of the dialog box.
381 The string to display.
383 A symbol or list of symbols:
385 -- To specify the buttons in the message box:
388 The message box contains three push buttons: Abort, Retry, and Ignore.
390 The message box contains one push button: OK. This is the default.
392 The message box contains two push buttons: OK and Cancel.
394 The message box contains two push buttons: Retry and Cancel.
396 The message box contains two push buttons: Yes and No.
398 The message box contains three push buttons: Yes, No, and Cancel.
401 -- To display an icon in the message box:
403 iconexclamation, iconwarning
404 An exclamation-point icon appears in the message box.
405 iconinformation, iconasterisk
406 An icon consisting of a lowercase letter i in a circle appears in
409 A question-mark icon appears in the message box.
410 iconstop, iconerror, iconhand
411 A stop-sign icon appears in the message box.
414 -- To indicate the default button:
417 The first button is the default button. This is the default.
419 The second button is the default button.
421 The third button is the default button.
423 The fourth button is the default button.
426 -- To indicate the modality of the dialog box:
429 The user must respond to the message box before continuing work in
430 the window identified by the hWnd parameter. However, the user can
431 move to the windows of other applications and work in those windows.
432 Depending on the hierarchy of windows in the application, the user
433 may be able to move to other windows within the application. All
434 child windows of the parent of the message box are automatically
435 disabled, but popup windows are not. This is the default.
437 Same as applmodal except that the message box has the WS_EX_TOPMOST
438 style. Use system-modal message boxes to notify the user of serious,
439 potentially damaging errors that require immediate attention (for
440 example, running out of memory). This flag has no effect on the
441 user's ability to interact with windows other than those associated
444 Same as applmodal except that all the top-level windows belonging to
445 the current task are disabled if the hWnd parameter is NULL. Use
446 this flag when the calling application or library does not have a
447 window handle available but still needs to prevent input to other
448 windows in the current application without suspending other
452 In addition, you can specify the following flags:
455 The desktop currently receiving input must be a default desktop;
456 otherwise, the function fails. A default desktop is one an
457 application runs on after the user has logged on.
459 Adds a Help button to the message box. Choosing the Help button or
460 pressing F1 generates a Help event.
462 The text is right-justified.
464 Displays message and caption text using right-to-left reading order
465 on Hebrew and Arabic systems.
467 The message box becomes the foreground window. Internally, Windows
468 calls the SetForegroundWindow function for the message box.
470 The message box is created with the WS_EX_TOPMOST window style.
472 Windows NT only: The caller is a service notifying the user of an
473 event. The function displays a message box on the current active
474 desktop, even if there is no user logged on to the computer. If
475 this flag is set, the hWnd parameter must be NULL. This is so the
476 message box can appear on a desktop other than the desktop
477 corresponding to the hWnd.
480 The return value is one of the following menu-item values returned by
484 Abort button was selected.
486 Cancel button was selected.
488 Ignore button was selected.
490 No button was selected.
492 OK button was selected.
494 Retry button was selected.
496 Yes button was selected.
498 If a message box has a Cancel button, the function returns the
499 `cancel' value if either the ESC key is pressed or the Cancel button
500 is selected. If the message box has no Cancel button, pressing ESC has
502 (flet ((dialog-box-modal-loop (thunk)
503 (let* ((frames (frame-list))
505 ;; ok, this is extremely tricky. normally a modal
506 ;; dialog will pop itself down using (dialog-box-finish)
507 ;; or (dialog-box-cancel), which throws back to this
508 ;; catch. but question dialog boxes pop down themselves
509 ;; regardless, so a badly written question dialog box
510 ;; that does not use (dialog-box-finish) could seriously
511 ;; wedge us. furthermore, we disable all other frames
512 ;; in order to implement modality; we need to restore
513 ;; them before the dialog box is destroyed, because
514 ;; otherwise windows at least will notice that no top-
515 ;; level window can have the focus and will shift the
516 ;; focus to a different app, raising it and obscuring us.
517 ;; so we create `delete-dialog-box-hook', which is
518 ;; called right *before* the dialog box gets destroyed.
519 ;; here, we put a hook on it, and when it's our dialog
520 ;; box and not someone else's that's being destroyed,
521 ;; we reenable all the frames and remove the hook.
522 ;; BUT ... we still have to deal with exiting the
523 ;; modal loop in case it doesn't happen before us.
524 ;; we can't do this until after the callbacks for this
525 ;; dialog box get executed, and that doesn't happen until
526 ;; after the dialog box is destroyed. so to keep things
527 ;; synchronous, we enqueue an eval event, which goes into
528 ;; the same queue as the misc-user events encapsulating
529 ;; the dialog callbacks and will go after it (because
530 ;; destroying the dialog box happens after processing
531 ;; its selection). if the dialog boxes are written
532 ;; properly, we don't see this eval event, because we've
533 ;; already exited our modal loop. (Thus, we make sure the
534 ;; function given in this eval event is actually defined
535 ;; and does nothing.) If we do see it, though, we know
536 ;; that we encountered a badly written dialog box and
537 ;; need to exit now. Currently we just return nil, but
