Options(message, ?type, ?buttons, ?defaultId, ?signal, ?title, ?detail, ?checkboxLabel, ?checkboxChecked, ?icon, ?textWidth, ?cancelId, ?noLink, ?normalizeAccessKeys)
Parameters:
string
-
Content of the message box.
?type : Type
-
Can be none, info, error, question or warning. On Windows, question displays the same icon as info, unless you
set an icon using the icon option. On macOS, both warning and error display the same warning icon.
?buttons : string[]
-
Array of texts for buttons. On Windows, an empty array will result in one button labeled "OK".
?defaultId : int
-
Index of the button in the buttons array which will be selected by default when the message box opens.
?signal : AbortSignal
-
Pass an instance of AbortSignal to optionally close the message box, the message box will behave as if it
was cancelled by the user. On macOS, signal does not work with message boxes that do not have a parent
window, since those message boxes run synchronously due to platform limitations.
?title : string
-
Title of the message box, some platforms will not show it.
?detail : string
-
Extra information of the message.
?checkboxLabel : string
-
If provided, the message box will include a checkbox with the given label.
?checkboxChecked : bool
-
Initial checked state of the checkbox. false by default.
?icon : U2<NativeImage, string>
-
?textWidth : int
-
⚠ OS Compatibility: WIN ❌ | MAC ✔ | LIN ❌ | MAS ❌ || Custom width of the
text in the message box.
?cancelId : int
-
The index of the button to be used to cancel the dialog, via the Esc key. By default this
is assigned to the first button with "cancel" or "no" as the label. If no such labeled buttons exist and
this option is not set, 0 will be used as the return value.
?noLink : bool
-
On Windows Electron will try to figure out which one of the buttons are common buttons (like "Cancel" or
"Yes"), and show the others as command links in the dialog. This can make the dialog appear in the style
of modern Windows apps. If you don't like this behavior, you can set noLink to true.
?normalizeAccessKeys : bool
-
Normalize the keyboard access keys across platforms. Default is false. Enabling this assumes & is used in the button
labels for the placement of the keyboard shortcut access key and labels will be converted so they work correctly on
each platform, & characters are removed on macOS, converted to _ on Linux, and left untouched on Windows. For example,
a button label of Vie&w will be converted to Vie_w on Linux and View on macOS and can be selected
via Alt-W on Windows and Linux.
