Custom buttons for message box?

[Irvine_himself]

I have written a script that uses a message box to allow the user to decide between three possible actions:

import re
def dec_1(m):
    return 'R' + str(int(m.group(1)) - 1)

def add_1(m):
    return 'R' + str(int(m.group(1)) + 1)

# get cursor position
position = editor.getCurrentPos()
action = notepad.messageBox('Yes = inc  -------  NO = dec','Inc or Dec',MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.YESNOCANCEL) 

if action == 6:
    # increment
    editor.rereplace('R([0-9]+)',add_1,re.IGNORECASE,position)
elif action == 7:
    # decrement
    editor.rereplace('R([0-9]+)',dec_1,re.IGNORECASE,position)
#else cancel

As you can see, because of the way it uses "MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.YESNOCANCEL", it is a bit of a bodge. I noticed in the Enums page of the Wiki that there seems to be support for custom buttons using "MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.DEFBUTTON1", but I can't seem to figure out how it works.

Any help on how to give the buttons custom names would be appreciated.

Hi,

not sure if I'm too late to answer but in case someone else has the same question,
this is a misunderstanding - the MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.DEFBUTTON1, 2, ... flags define
which button is the default one.

E.g.

notepad.messageBox('some message', 'a title', MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.ABORTRETRYIGNORE)

opens a messagebox with three buttons, ABORT, RETRY and IGNORE. The default button
is ABORT.

If you use

notepad.messageBox('some message', 'a title', MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.ABORTRETRYIGNORE | MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.DEFBUTTON2)

Then the same messagebox appears but the default button is now RETRY.
