AcceptDialog

Inherits: Window < Viewport < Node < Object

Inherited By: ConfirmationDialog

A base dialog used for user notification.

Description

The default use of AcceptDialog is to allow it to only be accepted or closed, with the same result. However, the confirmed and canceled signals allow to make the two actions different, and the add_button method allows to add custom buttons and actions.

Properties

bool	dialog_autowrap	`false`
bool	dialog_close_on_escape	`true`
bool	dialog_hide_on_ok	`true`
String	dialog_text	`""`
bool	exclusive	`true` (overrides Window)
bool	keep_title_visible	`true` (overrides Window)
String	ok_button_text	`"OK"`
String	title	`"Alert!"` (overrides Window)
bool	transient	`true` (overrides Window)
bool	visible	`false` (overrides Window)
bool	wrap_controls	`true` (overrides Window)

Methods

Button	add_button(text: String, right: bool = false, action: String = "")
Button	add_cancel_button(name: String)
Label	get_label()
Button	get_ok_button()
void	register_text_enter(line_edit: LineEdit)
void	remove_button(button: Button)

Theme Properties

int	buttons_min_height	`0`
int	buttons_min_width	`0`
int	buttons_separation	`10`
StyleBox	panel

Signals

canceled() 🔗

Emitted when the dialog is closed or the button created with add_cancel_button is pressed.

confirmed() 🔗

Emitted when the dialog is accepted, i.e. the OK button is pressed.

custom_action(action: StringName) 🔗

Emitted when a custom button is pressed. See add_button.

Property Descriptions

bool dialog_autowrap = false 🔗

void set_autowrap(value: bool)
bool has_autowrap()

Sets autowrapping for the text in the dialog.

bool dialog_close_on_escape = true 🔗

void set_close_on_escape(value: bool)
bool get_close_on_escape()

If true, the dialog will be hidden when the escape key (@GlobalScope.KEY_ESCAPE) is pressed.

bool dialog_hide_on_ok = true 🔗

void set_hide_on_ok(value: bool)
bool get_hide_on_ok()

If true, the dialog is hidden when the OK button is pressed. You can set it to false if you want to do e.g. input validation when receiving the confirmed signal, and handle hiding the dialog in your own logic.

Note: Some nodes derived from this class can have a different default value, and potentially their own built-in logic overriding this setting. For example FileDialog defaults to false, and has its own input validation code that is called when you press OK, which eventually hides the dialog if the input is valid. As such, this property can't be used in FileDialog to disable hiding the dialog when pressing OK.

String dialog_text = "" 🔗

void set_text(value: String)
String get_text()

The text displayed by the dialog.

String ok_button_text = "OK" 🔗

void set_ok_button_text(value: String)
String get_ok_button_text()

The text displayed by the OK button (see get_ok_button).

Method Descriptions

Button add_button(text: String, right: bool = false, action: String = "") 🔗

Adds a button with label text and a custom action to the dialog and returns the created button. action will be passed to the custom_action signal when pressed.

If true, right will place the button to the right of any sibling buttons.

You can use remove_button method to remove a button created with this method from the dialog.

Button add_cancel_button(name: String) 🔗

Adds a button with label name and a cancel action to the dialog and returns the created button.

You can use remove_button method to remove a button created with this method from the dialog.

Label get_label() 🔗

Returns the label used for built-in text.

Warning: This is a required internal node, removing and freeing it may cause a crash. If you wish to hide it or any of its children, use their CanvasItem.visible property.

Button get_ok_button() 🔗

Returns the OK Button instance.

Warning: This is a required internal node, removing and freeing it may cause a crash. If you wish to hide it or any of its children, use their CanvasItem.visible property.
