win32-msgbox

win32-msgbox is a Scheme interface to the Win32 MessageBox function.

[procedure] (msgbox MSG #!key (title "")
                              (buttons 'ok)
                              (default-button 1)
                              (icon 'none)
                              (foreground #t)
                              (topmost #f))

Valid symbols for the buttons option are:

Valid symbols for the icon option are:

msgbox returns the symbol associated to each button (e.g. the retry button returns the 'retry symbol).

Requirements

A Windows platform of course.

Usage

 
(use win32-msgbox)

The -Wl,--subsystem,windows linker switch ensures that the application is built as a Windows GUI application, and not as a console application.

csc -Wl,--subsystem,windows test.scm

Example 1

 
(use win32-msgbox)

(msgbox "Your public IP address is:\n\n7.19.211.65"
        title: "Info"
        icon: 'information)

Example 2

 
(use win32-msgbox)

(define user-input (msgbox "Resource not available\nDo you want to try again?"
                            title: "Warning"
                            buttons: 'retry/cancel
                            icon: 'exclamation))

(or (eq? user-input 'retry)
    (exit 1))
