Native dialogs are platform dialogs that do not use gtk:dialog or gtk:window widgets. They are used in order to integrate better with a platform, by looking the same as other native applications and supporting platform specific features.

The gtk:dialog functions cannot be used on such objects, but we need a similar API in order to drive them. The gtk:native-dialog object is an API that allows you to do this. It allows you to set various common properties on the dialog, as well as show and hide it and get a "response" signal when the user finished with the dialog.

There is also a gtk:native-dialog-run helper function that makes it easy to run any native dialog in a modal way with a recursive main loop, similar to the gtk:dialog-run function.

The "response" signal

lambda (dialog id)    :run-last      

Emitted when the user responds to the dialog window. When this is called the dialog window has been hidden. If you call the gtk:native-dialog-hide function before the user responds to the dialog window this signal will not be emitted.

dialog

The gtk:native-dialog widget which received the signal.

id

An integer with the response ID.
