Is there an easy way to create MessageBoxes?

Question

Hi everyone! Greetings from Lisbon!

After some research i found this thread: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/12034/gui-message-box-handling talking about MessageBoxes where I posted this question (noob!..sory!):

is there any way to have something like this working on a webplayer?

if (UnityEditor.EditorUtility.DisplayDialog(title, body, "Yes", "No"))
    print ("Yes");    
else
    print ("No");

I mean: is there any easy way to code a modal MessageBox without having to draw GUI.Box, GUI.TextArea and GUI.Buttons and use a boolean to let you know the dialog is still open?

Thank you all

Could you use Application.ExternalCall?

Hi Clem, thanks for your answer!

Yes I can use it! In fact I use it to call a jquery modal dialog from the webpage (here is the first experience I made with it.. but I wanted a more practical system where I could pause the game and interrupt a script execution, catch Yes/No answers, and then resume it automatically continuing from the interruption point or jump to some other method according to the dialog response, as the EditorUtility.DisplayDialog can! It's just that Application.ExternalCall and GetUnity().SendMessage are too limited (i think!.. At least I don't see how they could do this)!

Were you thinking about suggesting this? Do you think it can "do the trick"? How?

Edit: the link might be off for the weekend so try it here

Good to see you're getting some constructive help but, just as a note, try to post comments as comments and refrain from adding answers to comment on someone's response. Good luck with your question!

Adding answers to comment on someone's response make it difficult to follow answers to your initial question. See answers.unity3d.com/faq.

Regarding you question it looks like the easiest way to achieve what you want is to do what is described in the thread you found initially.
