How to customise a message box with no "close" button?

[Guerrian]

Here is what I have currently:

            QMessageBox::StandardButton reply;
            if (!saved)
            {
                reply = QMessageBox::question(this, tr("Question"), tr("Do you want to save changes?"),
                    QMessageBox::Yes|QMessageBox::No|QMessageBox::Close);
                if (reply == QMessageBox::Yes)
                {
                    if (model.name == "Untitled.emx")
                        saveAs();
                    else
                        save();
                }
                else if (reply == QMessageBox::Close)
                    return false;
            }
            return true;
        

How can I have the close option (via the "x"), but not have the "close" titled button?

Hi
Do you mean to have it return QMessageBox::Close for 'X'
when that button is not added?
I don't think that is possible.

However, remove QMessageBox::Close and put MessageBox::question in a function.
Then look what it returns when using 'X' and simply return QMessageBox::Close to caller instead.

@mrjj Yes, it returns 65536 when I click "x" and there's no "close" button.

[Guerrian]

@mrjj ...which is "no" (QMessageBox::No), so I guess it can't be done.

Hi,

What is your goal ? Something like Yes/No/Cancel ? In that case, QMessageBox::Cancel would make more sense.

@SGaist said in How to customise a message box with no "close" button?:

QMessageBox::Cancel

Yeah that makes more sense.
