Suppose you have a confirmation dialog of some kind, where the user can select a checkbox displayinfg "Don't show this message again"). When the user closes the dialog - program can store the state of the check box (checked or not checked) in a global variable - the next time you need to display this dialog - you simply don't show it.
The idea of realization is:
1. Create a dialog using CreateMessageDialog
2. This function will return a form object with dialog
3. In this object we can add a checkbox
4. Show dialog using ShowModal
5. Check a result and process a state of the checkbox
6. Destroy the created checkbox and the dialog
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject) ;
var
AMsgDialog: TForm;
ACheckBox: TCheckBox;
begin
AMsgDialog := CreateMessageDialog('This is a test message.', mtWarning, [mbYes, mbNo]) ;
ACheckBox := TCheckBox.Create(AMsgDialog) ;
with AMsgDialog do
try
Caption := 'Dialog Title' ;
Height := 169;
with ACheckBox do
begin
Parent := AMsgDialog;
Caption := 'Don''t show me again.';
Top := 121;
Left := 8;
end;
if (ShowModal = ID_YES) then
begin
if ACheckBox.Checked then
//do if checked
else
//do if NOT checked
end;
finally
Free;
end;
end;
