Member Function Documentation

int Choice ( String  button0,
String  button1,
String  button2,
String  text 
)

Creates and shows a pop-up dialog box and displays a text string and up to (3) buttons labeled according to the first three input parameters.

To hide any of the buttons, pass an empty string to the corresponding param. A question icon is displayed. This is equivalent to the fltk "fl_choice" message type.

Parameters
button0The label for button 0 (ESC is shortcut for this Right button)
button1The label for button 1 (RET is shortcut for this Center button)
button2The label for button 2 (left-most button)
textThe text string to display
Returns
Equals 0 if button0 pressed, 1 if button1 pressed, 2 if button2 pressed
