Description:

public class AlertDialog : Dialog, Accessible, Buildable, ConstraintTarget

A dialog presenting a message or a question.

<picture> <source srcset="alert-dialog-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> <img src="alert-dialog.png" alt="alert-dialog"> </picture>

Alert dialogs have a heading, a body, an optional child widget, and one or multiple responses, each presented as a button.

Each response has a unique string ID, and a button label. Additionally, each response can be enabled or disabled, and can have a suggested or destructive appearance.

When one of the responses is activated, or the dialog is closed, the [signal@AlertDialog:AdapAlertDialog:response] signal will be emitted. This signal is detailed, and the detail, as well as the `response` parameter will be set to the ID of the activated response, or to the value of the [property@AlertDialog:close-response] property if the dialog had been closed without activating any of the responses.

Response buttons can be presented horizontally or vertically depending on available space.

When a response is activated, `AdapAlertDialog` is closed automatically.

An example of using an alert dialog:

```c AdapDialog *dialog;

dialog = adap_alert_dialog_new (_("Replace File?"), NULL);

adap_alert_dialog_format_body (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), _("A file named “s” already exists. Do you want to replace it?"), filename);

adap_alert_dialog_add_responses (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel", _("_Cancel"), "replace", _("_Replace"), NULL);

adap_alert_dialog_set_response_appearance (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), "replace", ADAP_RESPONSE_DESTRUCTIVE);

adap_alert_dialog_set_default_response (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel"); adap_alert_dialog_set_close_response (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG ( dialog), "cancel");

g_signal_connect (dialog, "response", G_CALLBACK (response_cb), self);

adap_dialog_present (dialog, parent); ```

Async API

`AdapAlertDialog` can also be used via the [method@AlertDialog.choose] method. This API follows the GIO async pattern, and the result can be obtained by calling [method@AlertDialog.choose_finish], for example:

```c static void dialog_cb (AdapAlertDialog *dialog, GAsyncResult *result, MyWindow *self) { const char *response = adap_alert_dialog_choose_finish (dialog, result);

// ... }

static void show_dialog (MyWindow *self) { AdapDialog *dialog;

dialog = adap_alert_dialog_new (_("Replace File?"), NULL);

adap_alert_dialog_format_body (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), _("A file named “s” already exists. Do you want to replace it?"), filename);

adap_alert_dialog_add_responses (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel", _("_Cancel"), "replace", _("_Replace"), NULL);

adap_alert_dialog_set_response_appearance (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), "replace", ADAP_RESPONSE_DESTRUCTIVE);

adap_alert_dialog_set_default_response (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), "cancel"); adap_alert_dialog_set_close_response (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG ( dialog), "cancel");

adap_alert_dialog_choose (ADAP_ALERT_DIALOG (dialog), GTK_WIDGET (self), NULL, (GAsyncReadyCallback) dialog_cb, self); } ```

AdapAlertDialog as GtkBuildable

`AdapAlertDialog` supports adding responses in UI definitions by via the `<responses>` element that may contain multiple `< response>` elements, each respresenting a response.

Each of the `<response>` elements must have the `id` attribute specifying the response ID. The contents of the element are used as the response label.

Response labels can be translated with the usual `translatable`, `context` and `comments` attributes.

The `<response>` elements can also have `enabled` and/or `appearance` attributes. See [method@AlertDialog.set_response_enabled] and [method@AlertDialog.set_response_appearance] for details.

Example of an `AdapAlertDialog` UI definition:

```xml <object class="AdapAlertDialog" id="dialog"> <property name="heading" translatable="yes">Save Changes?</property > <property name="body" translatable="yes">Open documents contain unsaved changes. Changes which are not saved will be permanently lost.</property> <property name="default-response">save</property> <property name="close-response"> cancel</property> <signal name="response" handler="response_cb"/> <responses> <response id="cancel" translatable="yes">_Cancel</response> <response id="discard" translatable="yes" appearance="destructive">_Discard< /response> <response id="save" translatable="yes" appearance="suggested" enabled="false">_Save</response> </responses > </object> ```
