Write a simple message dialog app

You can write your own GTK 3 message dialog easily in many programming languages through GObject-Introspection or bindings, or you can simply use bash.

The following examples display a simple "Hello world" in a message dialog.

Ada

  • Dependency: gtkadaAUR
  • Makedependency: gcc-ada
  • Build with: gnatmake hello_world `gtkada-config`
hello_world.adb
with Gtk.Main;
with Gtk.Dialog;           use Gtk.Dialog;
with Gtk.Message_Dialog;   use Gtk.Message_Dialog;

procedure hello_world is
  Dialog   : Gtk_Message_Dialog;
  Response : Gtk_Response_Type;
begin
  Gtk.Main.Init;
  Gtk_New (Dialog   => Dialog,
           Parent   => null,
           Flags    => 0,
           The_Type => Message_Info,
           Buttons  => Buttons_OK,
           Message  => "Hello world!");
  Format_Secondary_Markup (Dialog, "This is an example dialog.");
  Response := Run (Dialog);
end hello_world;

Bash

hello_world.sh
#!/bin/bash
zenity --info --title='Hello world!' --text='This is an example dialog.'

BASIC

hello_world.bas
#include "Gir/Gtk-3.0.bi"
Dim As GtkWidget Ptr hello
gtk_init (cast(gint ptr, @__fb_argc__), @__fb_argv__)
hello = gtk_message_dialog_new (NULL, GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, GTK_MESSAGE_INFO, GTK_BUTTONS_OK, "Hello world!")
gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_text (GTK_MESSAGE_DIALOG (hello), "This is an example dialog.")
gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (hello))
