Notes

The IupMessageDlg is a native pre-defined dialog not altered by IupSetLanguage.

To show the dialog, use function IupPopup. In Lua, use the popup function.

The IupMessage function simply creates and popup a IupMessageDlg.

In Windows each different dialog type is associated with a different beep sound.

  Ihandle* dlg = IupMessageDlg();
  IupSetAttribute(dlg, "DIALOGTYPE", "WARNING");
  IupSetAttribute(dlg, "TITLE", "Dialog Title");
  IupSetAttribute(dlg, "BUTTONS", "OKCANCEL");
  IupSetAttribute(dlg, "VALUE", "Message Text\nSecond Line");
  IupPopup(dlg, IUP_CENTER, IUP_CENTER);
