OOUI/Windows/Message Dialogs

Unlike the other types of dialogs, message dialogs, which generally contain either a confirmation or alert notification, behave in such a generic way that they can be instantiated directly. By default, the rendered dialog box consists of In the case of a confirmation message, the  describes what the selected action will do. In the case of an alert, the title describes what event occurred. A confirmation  provides more details about the consequences of the selected action; an alert message, more information about why the event occurred.
 * a header with the dialog title,
 * a message,
 * a footer that contains any action widgets.

For simple use cases, several convenience functions exist. See OOUI/Windows/Simple messages.

Custom action buttons
When the window is opened with the window manager’s , a new action set can also be passed to the window. The following example illustrates a message dialog with a single action labeled ‘Dismiss.’ The action itself is ‘accept’, defined by the class.



The message dialog will automatically display all actions in a single row at the bottom of the dialog box, unless the labels are too long to fit without overflow, in which case the actions will be displayed on separate rows:

Verbose styling
For long messages, use the  option to left-align and adjust the message styling:
