Custom Buttons in Python ctypes MessageBox

Question

I need a python messagebox with custom buttons.

I need something like this. I need it to return the button clicked. Like If I clicked 'A' it would return 'A'

I know about tkinter but I want to use this with pygame and can't get it to work.

Here is what I made with tkinter, not the perfect messagebox, but why not?

For the theme used you have to install it first, like:

pip install ttkthemes

Then the code

# imports
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from ttkthemes import themed_tk as tktheme
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
from tkinter import messagebox

# making new themed window
root = tktheme.ThemedTk()
root.title('Take selection')
root.get_themes()
root.set_theme('vista')

# message to be shown by the box
message = 'Here is a custom messagebox.'

# defining functions
def click1():
    root.destroy()
    return 'A'


def click2():
    root.destroy()
    return 'B'


def click3():
    root.destroy()
    return 'C'


# creating white frame
frame1 = Frame(height=139, width=440, bg='white')
frame1.grid(row=0, column=0)

# creating gray frame
frame2 = ttk.Frame(height=50, width=440)
frame2.grid(row=1, column=0)

# importing the image, any image can be used(for the question mark)
dir = Image.open('Blue_question.png')
dir = dir.resize((50, 50), Image.ANTIALIAS)
img_prof = ImageTk.PhotoImage(dir)
img_label = Label(root, image=img_prof, bg='white')
img_label.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=W, padx=25)

# defining main label
cust_messagebox = Label(root, text=message, font=('Arial', 10), bg='white')
cust_messagebox.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=W, padx=(95, 0))

# defining buttons
button1 = ttk.Button(root, text='A', command=click1)
button1.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=W, padx=30, ipadx=10)

button2 = ttk.Button(root, text='B', command=click2)
button2.grid(row=1, column=0, ipadx=10)

button3 = ttk.Button(root, text='C', command=click3)
button3.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=E, padx=(0, 30), ipadx=10)

# keeping the app alive
root.mainloop()

With bigger messages you might want to increase the width of the frames and the play with the padding of the widgets too.

If any doubts or errors, do let me know.
