NSAlert multiple buttons

I have one NSAlert with two buttons:

var al = NSAlert()
al.informativeText = "You earned \(finalScore) points"
al.messageText = "Game over"
al.showsHelp = false
al.addButtonWithTitle("New Game")
al.runModal()

It's working perfectly, but I don't know how to recognize, which button was pressed by user.

Solution

  • runModal will return "the constant positionally identifying the button clicked."

    This is how the values associated to your buttons are defined:

    enum {
   NSAlertFirstButtonReturn   = 1000,
   NSAlertSecondButtonReturn   = 1001,
   NSAlertThirdButtonReturn   = 1002
};

    So, basically what you should do is:

    NSModalResponse responseTag = al.runModal();
if (responseTag == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn) {
   ...
} else {
   ...
