Windows

extern crate msgbox;

use msgbox::IconType;

fn main() {
    msgbox::create("Hello Title", "Hello World!", IconType::Info);
}

Simple, cross-platform message box GUI library.

All it does is to show a message box modal with an OK button, which runs synchronously.

It supports multi-platform, and maintains separate dependencies per platform, thus light-weight.

Example use case is to show a modal when an error occurs in OpenGL applications.

Synchronous Message Modal
Multi-platform (Linux GTK3+, Windows and OS X)
Light-weight

Platform support

Linux with GTK 3+ (Tested on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04)
Windows (Tested on Windows 8.1 and 10)
OS X (Tested on MacOS 10.13.3 High Sierra)

Dev Requirements

Linux

libgtk-3-dev for apt
gtk3-devel for yum

Windows

Windows version compatible with winapi

OS X

Tested on High Sierra 10.13.3, but it should work on 10.3+

msgbox-rs's Issues

a library should not "println", but return an error type

Thank you for this useful crate.

It would be very useful to know if the message box finally popped up or if there had been some error.

Please consider the following extract of linux.rs.

pub fn create(title:&str, content:&str, icon_type:IconType) {
    if gtk::init().is_err() {
        println!("Failed to initialize GTK.");
        println!("{}", content);
        return;
    }

Instead of dumping on the console with println!() I suggest returning some error type. Otherwise there is no way for the caller to know if something went wrong!

Hide console

Hi, if you hide console with:
#![windows_subsystem = "windows"]
The MsgBox close instantly

Include a license file in the crate

Hi, I have package msgbox for fedora, and they would like to have a license file to include in the package docs.

On MacOS the dialog box remains open after OK is clicked.

This is with msgbox 0.7.0, and on macOS Monterey, version 12.3.1. My machine has an Apple M1 Pro chip, which means it could be an architectture-related bug?

I'll also mention that native-dialog has the same bug so it might be an underlying crate issue?

[Enhancement Request] More button types

It will be nice if I can choose to display "OK", "OK or Cancel", "Yes or No", "Abort, Retry or Ignore" and anything else and get known which button user click by returned value.

It should not make this library too heavy. But makes it more useful.

Android Support

Currently this crate is missing android support.
I'm investigating what this would require.
