# wxStdDialogButtonSizer(3erl)

Functions for wxStdDialogButtonSizer class

## NAME

wxStdDialogButtonSizer - Functions for wxStdDialogButtonSizer class

## DESCRIPTION

This class creates button layouts which conform to the standard button spacing and ordering defined by the platform or toolkit's user interface guidelines (if such things exist). By using this class, you can ensure that all your standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to the Windows, GTK+ and macOS human interface guidelines.

When there aren't interface guidelines defined for a particular platform or toolkit, *wxStdDialogButtonSizer* reverts to the Windows implementation.

To use this class, first add buttons to the sizer by calling *addButton/2* (or *setAffirmativeButton/2*, *setNegativeButton/2* or *setCancelButton/2*) and then call Realize in order to create the actual button layout used. Other than these special operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.

If you add a button with wxID\_SAVE, on macOS the button will be renamed to "Save" and the wxID\_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance with the macOS Human Interface Guidelines.

See: *wxSizer*, Overview sizer, *wxDialog:createButtonSizer/2*

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: *wxBoxSizer* *wxSizer*

```

Types:

This = wxStdDialogButtonSizer()\
 Button = wxButton:wxButton()\

Sets the cancel button for the sizer.

```

Types:

This = wxStdDialogButtonSizer()\
 Button = wxButton:wxButton()\

Sets the negative button for the sizer.
