Customizing the system information windows (or dialog boxes)
Your applications are using several system dialog boxes? A specific skin template is used in your project? Why not customize these windows and give them the "appearance" of your application? WINDEV allows you to easily include the "WinDevMessageBox" and "WinDevDialogBox" windows in your applications. These windows are system information windows (dialog boxes) that can be customized and used in all your applications. No code is required. When these windows are included in your project: Reminder: By default, the dialog boxes are standard dialog boxes that have the following characteristics: - gray background.
- icon indicating the type of information displayed.
- standard WINDEV buttons.
Note: The use of these windows allows you to display multilingual dialog boxes (images, caption of buttons, ...). By default, these windows support French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. See "Multilingual dialog boxes" for more details.
