5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Ordinary functions

Function: show (text &rest args &key title type modal &allow-other-keys)

Show a message box dialog.

TEXT — The primary text to display.
TITLE — The title to show on the message box window.
TYPE — What kind of message to display. Should be one of :info
:error
:warning
:question
MODAL — Whether the dialog should be modal to the application May not make a difference on some systems.

If the backend fails or no suitable backend is present, the dialog is shown on *ERROR-OUTPUT*.

Depending on the backend further options may be supported.

Do note that some systems might not show long text well. You should thus avoid trying to do things such as displaying stack traces using this function. It is instead recommended to write relevant debug information to a file and refer to this file in the displayed message.

This function should not error.

Returns :OK, :YES, :NO, or :CANCEL. :YES and :NO can only be returned if the TYPE is :QUESTION.
