how do you store the respond to a MessageBox

Jul 1st, 2007

plz let me know how to store the respond and take some logical actions upon it in visual STUDIO windows form application
wht's the code for it;
note that msdn suggest that it should be
MessageBox::Show(" text here ", ,MessageBoxButtons::YesNo )==DialogResult::Yes

but it's not working;
DialogResult only has get() and set() methods

try putting two colons in front as shown in this example.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

You can store the result in a variable. An integer would work fine

Then use and if statement to check what the result was and do what ever you want form there

this is the usual method i use for a message box

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if ( MessageBox::Show("Some Message", 
"Some Title", 
MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, 
MessageBoxIcon::Information) == DialogResult::Yes) {
//write the code to do what i need
}
if ( MessageBox::Show("Some Message", 
"Some Title", 
MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, 
MessageBoxIcon::Information) == DialogResult::Yes) {
//write the code to do what i need
}

Here are two working methods to store your return from a message box, using the C++ API version and the .NET Version

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
/* WINDOWS API VERSION
MessageBox (
HWND Owner,
LPCTSTR lpText,
LPCTSTR lpCaption,
UINT uType);
*/
int messageResult = MessageBox( NULL, L"SOME MESSGE", L"Some Title", MB_OK);
 
if (messageResult == MB_OK) {
  //what to do with our result
}
 
/*.NET VERSION
MessageBox::Show(
string Message,
string Caption,
MessageBoxButtons Buttons,
MessageBoxIcons Icon);
*/
DialogResult myResult = MessageBox::Show("SOME MESSAGE", "SOME TITLE", MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, MessageBoxIcon::Information);
 
if (myResult = DialogResult::Yes) {
   //should work
}
/* WINDOWS API VERSION
MessageBox (
HWND Owner,
LPCTSTR lpText,
LPCTSTR lpCaption,
UINT uType);
*/
int messageResult = MessageBox( NULL, L"SOME MESSGE", L"Some Title", MB_OK);
 
if (messageResult == MB_OK) {
  //what to do with our result
}
 
/*.NET VERSION
MessageBox::Show(
string Message,
string Caption,
MessageBoxButtons Buttons,
MessageBoxIcons Icon);
*/
DialogResult myResult = MessageBox::Show("SOME MESSAGE", "SOME TITLE", MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, MessageBoxIcon::Information);
 
if (myResult = DialogResult::Yes) {
   //should work
}

i've tested the C++ API version and is working, the .NET Version works fine in C# (i dont have a project open right now in C++ using the .NET namespaces) but following the same logic it should work.

if not shame on me lol

Re: how do you store the respond to a MessageBox

Sorry for the bumb, didn't think i should open a new thread because this discribes exactly my problem.

My code:

 Help with Code Tags 
 c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult mbResult = MessageBox::Show(this, "text", "Title", 
MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, MessageBoxIcon::Warning);
 
if(myResult == ::DialogResult::Yes )
{ 
       this->Close();
}
System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult mbResult = MessageBox::Show(this, "text", "Title", 
MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, MessageBoxIcon::Warning);

if(myResult == ::DialogResult::Yes )
{ 
       this->Close();
}

It returns the following error:
error C2039: 'yes' : is not a member of 'System::Windows::Forms::Form:

ialogResult'
see Declaration of 'System::Windows::Forms::Form:

ialogResult'
error C2065: 'Yes' : Undeclared identifier.

Anybody a suggestion?

thnx in advanced

Nevermind i solved it by doing the following:

My code:

 Help with Code Tags 
 c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult mbResult = MessageBox::Show(this, "text", "Title", 
MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, MessageBoxIcon::Warning);
 
if(System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::Yes == result)
{ 
       this->Close();
}
System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult mbResult = MessageBox::Show(this, "text", "Title", 
MessageBoxButtons::YesNo, MessageBoxIcon::Warning);

if(System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::Yes == result)
{ 
       this->Close();
}
