  36.   end;
  37.   result := reply;
  38.  end;    

I have the above code which works fine. It displays the 6 buttons in a box.

Is there a way to have the six buttons displayed on two line in the box?

Thanks

I would like to know how you found that function  :D

This is the first time I have ever seen it and it appears to be something in the deep end..!

 Looking at the help files I don't see a way for that to happen, if you were doing such things in Lazarus LCL
it would be easy.. to do things like this, just make a Dialog form and there you go.

 I Lazarus there is a TtaskDialog that you can do some nice things with.

I not sure where? But I think it was posted by hondoko and I adapted it.

I could try and find the posting if it's really important.

I'll Look

Not using the QuestionDlg function in Dialogs, since it calls the Widgetset.AskUser() function which does not support multiple rows of buttons.
But a custom dialog could be devised that did this for you.

Hi!

I had a similar problem. It seems that you have to build your own dialog:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Type TDiaLogForm = Class (TForm)  
  2. ...
  3. end
  4.  

Now your a free to design the dialog to your needs.

Set the BorderStyle to bsDialog

Use BitBtn : With the property Kind you can set the default system icons (yes, no, cancel..)

With every click on a BitBtn you set another modalresult

Works nice!

Was hoping for something simple.

@Winni

Don't understand much of what you are saying. Have to play with it some.

@howardpc
Been busy and haven't been able to port your example yet.

Getting an error when I compile and can't figure it out. Have to start fresh again.

@Jamie
I looked, went back about 15 pages of hondoko posts and didn't see it, but I'm sure it was him.

I believe this is the post:
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,44992.msg316911.html#msg316911

And this is the exact code (if you follow the link in the link above):

This is what I modified:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. const
  2.   mrNoneNI=      20;
  3.   mrOkNI=        mrNoneNI+1;
  4.   mrCancelNI=    mrNoneNI+2;
  5.   mrAbortNI=     mrNoneNI+3;
  6.   mrRetryNI=     mrNoneNI+4;
  7.   mrIgnoreNI=    mrNoneNI+5;
  8.   mrYesNI=       mrNoneNI+6;
  9.   mrNoNI=        mrNoneNI+7;
  10.   mrAllNI=       mrNoneNI+8;
  11.   mrYesToAllNI=  mrNoneNI+10;
  12.   mrCloseNI=     mrNoneNI+11;
  13.   mrLastNI=      mrCloseNI;
  14. begin
  15.   case QuestionDlg ('Caption','Message',mtCustom,[mrYesNI,'Positive', mrNoNI, 'Negative',mrCancelNI,'I do not know','IsCancel'],'') of
  16.     mrYesNI: QuestionDlg ('Caption','So you mean „Yes“',mtCustom,[mrYesNI,'That is right'],'');
  17.     mrNoNI:  QuestionDlg ('Caption','Oh, you mean „No“',mtCustom,[mrNoNI,'Exactly'],'');
  18.     mrCancelNI:  QuestionDlg ('Caption','So, please find out!',mtCustom,[mrCancelNI,'Maybe'],'');
  19.   end; //case
  20. end;
