ChoiceButtons[{lblok,lblcancel},{actok,actcancel}]

uses the lbli to label the buttons.

  • ChoiceButtons arranges OK and Cancel buttons in the conventional order for the current computer system.
  • ChoiceButtons[{lbl1,lbl2},{act1,act2},{opts1,opts2}] gives separate options for each button.
  • ChoiceButtons[lbls,acts,opts,gopts] allows Grid options to be given to specify the layout of the buttons.

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (2)

OK and Cancel buttons display in the standard order for the current computer system:

Wolfram Language code: ChoiceButtons[]

Specify an action to evaluate when the buttons are clicked:

Wolfram Language code: ChoiceButtons[{Print[10!], Print[$Failed]}]

Scope  (4)

Use custom labels:

Wolfram Language code: ChoiceButtons[{"10 Factorial", "Fail"}, {Print[10!], Print[$Failed]}]

Specify options for each button:

Wolfram Language code: ChoiceButtons[{"10 Factorial", "Fail"}, {Print[10!], Print[$Failed]}, {Background -> Red, Appearance -> "Frameless"}]

Specify options to the grid around the buttons:

Wolfram Language code: ChoiceButtons[{"10 Factorial", "Fail"}, {Print[10!], Print[$Failed]}, {}, {Dividers -> All, Spacings -> 10}]

Use the buttons to return from a dialog window:

Wolfram Language code: CreateDialog[ChoiceButtons[]];

Applications  (1)

A login dialog:

Wolfram Language code: DialogInput[DynamicModule[{name = ""}, Column[{"Enter username:", InputField[Dynamic[name], String], ChoiceButtons[{DialogReturn[name], DialogReturn[]}]}]]]

Properties & Relations  (1)

ChoiceDialog is a DialogInput with ChoiceButtons which return True and False:

Wolfram Language code: ChoiceDialog["Make a choice..."]
Wolfram Language code: DialogInput[Column[{"Make a choice...", ChoiceButtons[{DialogReturn[True], DialogReturn[False]}]}]]
