classMessageDialog : gtk.dialog.Dialog

#GtkMessageDialog presents a dialog with some message text. It’s simply a convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of #GtkMessageDialog from #GtkDialog without too much effort, but #GtkMessageDialog saves typing.

One difference from #GtkDialog is that #GtkMessageDialog sets the #GtkWindow:skip-taskbar-hint property to true, so that the dialog is hidden from the taskbar by default.

The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use [gtk.dialog.Dialog.run], though you can also pass in the [gtk.types.DialogFlags.Modal] flag, [gtk.dialog.Dialog.run] automatically makes the dialog modal and waits for the user to respond to it. [gtk.dialog.Dialog.run] returns when any dialog button is clicked.

An example for using a modal dialog: 

GtkDialogFlags flags = GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT;
dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window,
                                 flags,
                                 GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR,
                                 GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,
                                 "Error reading “%s”: %s",
                                 filename,
                                 g_strerror (errno));
gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));
gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);

You might do a non-modal #GtkMessageDialog as follows:

An example for a non-modal dialog: 

GtkDialogFlags flags = GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT;
dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (parent_window,
                                 flags,
                                 GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR,
                                 GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,
                                 "Error reading “%s”: %s",
                                 filename,
                                 g_strerror (errno));

// Destroy the dialog when the user responds to it
// (e.g. clicks a button)

g_signal_connect_swapped (dialog, "response",
                          G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy),
                          dialog);

GtkMessageDialog as GtkBuildable

The GtkMessageDialog implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the message area as an internal child with the name “message_area”.
