IupMessage
Shows a modal dialog containing a message. It simply creates and popups a IupMessageDlg.
Creation and Show
void IupMessage(const char *title, const char *message);
void IupMessagef(const char *title, const char *format, ...);
void IupMessageV(const char *title, const char *format, va_list arglist);
title: dialog title
message: text message contents
format: same format as the C sprintf function
Notes
The IupMessage function shows a dialog centralized on the screen, showing the message and the “OK” button. The ‘\n’ character can be added to the message to indicate line change.
The dialog uses a global attribute called "PARENTDIALOG" as the parent dialog if it is defined. It also uses a global attribute called "ICON" as the dialog icon if it is defined (used only in Motif, in Windows MessageBox does not have an icon in the title bar).
