prompt-with-message Function

Summary

Displays a message dialog, allowing it to be a window-modal sheet on Cocoa.

Package

capi

Signature

prompt-with-message message &key owner continuation

Arguments
message
A string.
owner
An owner window, or nil.
continuation
A function or nil.
Description

The function prompt-with-message displays message in a dialog owned by owner.

If continuation is non-nil, then it must be a function with a lambda list that accepts two arguments. continuation is called with the values that would normally be returned by prompt-with-message. On Cocoa, passing continuation causes the dialog to be made as a window-modal sheet and prompt-with-message returns immediately, leaving the dialog on the screen. The with-dialog-results macro provides a convenient way to create a continuation function.

Examples
(capi:prompt-with-message
  "No items were deleted.")
