Is there any method to display pop up message like MessageBox.Show in .NET core?
2 Answers
One of the problems of a cheap replacement is, there's no equivalent function on Linux (or Mac).
So you can either write your own with many pinvokes and structures, or you can just use the "notify-send" command, which opens a "notification bubble" on Linux.
WindowManager.MsgBoxResult result = WindowManager.Interaction
.MsgBox("Message", "Title", MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel);
Here's my implementation:
namespace WindowManager
{
public enum MsgBoxResult
: int
{
Abort = 3,
Cancel = 2,
Ignore = 5,
No = 7,
Ok = 1,
Retry = 4,
Yes = 6
}
//[System.Flags]
//public enum MsgBoxStyle
// : int
//{
// AbortRetryIgnore = 2,
// ApplicationModal = 0,
// Critical = 0x10,
// DefaultButton1 = 0,
// DefaultButton2 = 0x100,
// DefaultButton3 = 0x200,
// Exclamation = 0x30,
// Information = 0x40,
// MsgBoxHelp = 0x4000,
// MsgBoxRight = 0x80000,
// MsgBoxRtlReading = 0x100000,
// MsgBoxSetForeground = 0x10000,
// OkCancel = 1,
// OkOnly = 0,
// Question = 0x20,
// RetryCancel = 5,
// SystemModal = 0x1000,
// YesNo = 4,
// YesNoCancel = 3
//}
