MessageBox Ver. 2.0.10027

[kandennti]

Hi everyone.

It seems that UserInterface.messageBox has been changed since Ver 2.0.10027.
I cannot drag the displayed MessageBox with the mouse, is this a specification?

It used to be possible to drag them.
It is operated at 0:08-0:09.

Hi,

I confirm that the messageBox object change and is no more movable:

ui.messageBox('test', 'Test Message box')

It is as per specification at the moment. We are trying to make message box in Fusion more HIG compliant. There will be more changes to the styling of this dialog in next Fusion update. Thanks.

Thank you, @goyals .

Yes, sir. I'm looking forward to it.

If I really need the old style, I will use this.

def run(context):
    ui :adsk.core.UserInterface = None
    try:
        app :adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface

        msg = 'New Style'
        ui.messageBox(msg)

        msg = 'Old Style'
        app.executeTextCommand(f'UI.SimpleMessageBox "{msg}"')
        
    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

We have confirmed that Ver 2.0.10244 fixed the problem so that you can move it by dragging.
Thanks!

Did you notice that you can now select text and copy/paste it using the right mouse button or keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks to whoever implemented this.

Like the pre-modernized version, the new message box is able to show basic html formatting (an undocumented feature).

Running @JeromeBriot 's code from this post results the following message box.

And by copyig the html formatted text, you can paste it as formatted text, for example in a google docs document.
