Default button for wxMessageBox

wxPython Users
1

Is there a way to specify a default button (i.e. the button which has the focus) for a wxMessageBox? Currently, I have a wxYES_NO style, and the Yes button is always selected by default - I would like to make the No button the default.

The other option, of course is to build my own dialog...

Thanks,

According to the documentation there is the flag wxNO_DEFAULT which
(despite the somewhat strange name) should work as you described.

Markus,

Thanks for the tip - but that is for a wxMessageDialog class - not the built-in wxMessageBox function. Adding it to my call to wxMessageBox causes no message box to appear at all, as if the user just clicked No. Interesting...
Anyway - point taken - I'll just change the code to use an instance of wxMessageDialog, instead of calling wxMessageBox.

Thanks,
Mark.

Sorry - I'm a tool. It works just fine. I had turned off printing to stdout, and I was actually getting an exception. When wxMessageDialog didn't work either it sort of tipped me off...

Thanks, Markus.
