ANSIMessageBoxPane

ANSIMessageBoxPane Class

ANSIMessageBox objects present users with a pop-up dialog that contains a messages, and an ANSIButtonPane ‘Ok’ button to close the widget.

Here is a simple example.

int main () {
  ANSIMessageBoxPane new messageBox;
  messageBox withText "Hello, world!";
  messageBox show 10, 10;
  messageBox cleanup;
}

You should also take care of the differences between xterms, consoles, and serial terminals. In particular, even though the parent method (class ANSIWidgetPane) See ANSITerminalStream.
