The IUP::MessageDlg is a native pre-defined dialog not altered by SetLanguage.
To show the dialog, use function Popup. function.
The dialog is mapped only inside Popup, Map does nothing.
In Windows the position (x,y) used in Popup is ignored and the dialog is always centered on screen.
The Message function simply creates and popup a IUP::MessageDlg.
In Windows each different dialog type is always associated with a different beep sound.
In Windows, if PARENTDIALOG is specified then it will be modal relative only to its parent.
The element IUP::MessageDlg is used in the following sample scripts:
