# dialog/msgbox Open a message box with a single OK button. ## Syntax

[dialog/msgbox "Title" "Message"]

## Parameters - `"Title"` — dialog title (defaults to `"Message"`) - `"Message"` — body text shown inside the dialog ## Examples

[dialog/msgbox "Saved" "File written to disk."]
[dialog/msgbox "Error" "Could not connect."]
[dialog/msgbox %{ :title "Saved" :prompt "Done." }]
[dialog/msgbox :saved "Saved" "Done."]              # explicit id → :data~id :saved

## Returns In TUI hosts the call returns immediately — `true` when an explicit id was given (leading keyword or `:id` in the spec map), else the numeric request-id. Behavior depends on the build: - TUI (`retro`, `retra`) — returns immediately; a `:message` event with topic `"dialog-result"` is delivered when the user dismisses the dialog (`:data~cancelled` is false and `:data~value` is empty). - `deft` scripting binary — blocks on stdin until dismissed, returns `nil`. ## See Also `dialog/confirm`, `dialog/prompt`, `dialog/menu`
