Version 4.x.x: Vaadin 8.0.5+
Version 3.x.x: Vaadin 7.2+ with method chaining syntax
Version 2.x.x: Vaadin 7+
Version 1.1.x: Vaadin 6.7+

The ONLINE DEMO is deactivated since 2018-05-04. Openshift continously disables my account. It annoys me and I am not longer interested in Openshift. If you know another free vm provider, please let me know. Thanks!

DESCRIPTION

You simply want to show a message dialog? Unfortunally, Vaadin does not offer such a dialog. This add-on closes this gap. Now, the button captions are translated to more than 40 languages!

USAGE

It's very simple, flexible and self-explaining code:

MessageBox
    .createInfo()
    .withCaption("Info")
    .withMessage("Hello World!")
    .withOkButton(() -> System.out.println("Ok pressed."))
    .open();

You can add more buttons with button listeners. But you can do much more. Test the demo to find out all features!

THANK YOU

I thank all contributors for the i18n, bug reports and ideas. It helps me a lot to improve the quality of this addon. Also I am glad about so much feedback. That is the cause, why I write open source and I maintain this addon.

Sample code

MessageBox
    .createInfo()
    .withCaption("Example 1")
    .withMessage("Hello World!")
    .withOkButton()
    .open();
MessageBox
    .createQuestion()
    .withCaption("Example 6")
    .withMessage("Do you really want to continue?")
    .withYesButton(() -> { System.out.println("Yes button was pressed."); })
    .withNoButton(() -> { System.out.println("No button was pressed."); })
    .open();
MessageBox
    .create()
    .createCaption("Example 9")
    .createMessage("Long plain text has to be broken manually with an '\\n':\n1. line\n2. line\n3. line\n4. line\n5. line\n6. line")
    .open();
MessageBox
    .createInfo()
    .withCaption("Custom button captions")
    .withMessage("Button captions replaced!")
    .withYesButton(ButtonOption.caption("Yea"))
    .withNoButton(ButtonOption.caption("Nay"))
    .open()

IMPROVEMENTS: - The layout of the dialog components is improved. Now, the dialog height increases automatically with the content of the message. Only the dialog width have to be set, if required.

Now, the user have to press a button.
