### Method

# EBackend UserPrompterprompt

since: 3.8

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    e_user_prompter_prompt (
      EUserPrompter* prompter,
      const gchar* type,
      const gchar* title,
      const gchar* primary_text,
      const gchar* secondary_text,
      gboolean use_markup,
      GList* button_captions,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Asynchronously prompt a user for a decision.

The `type` can be one of “info”, “warning”, “question” or “error”, to include an icon in the message prompt; anything else results in no icon in the message.

If `button_captions` is `NULL` or empty list, then only one button is shown in the prompt, a “Dismiss” button.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `e_user_prompter_prompt_finish()` to get the result of the operation.

Available since: 3.8

This method completes asynchronously. Use `e_user_prompter_prompt_finish()` inside the `GAsyncReadyCallback` to obtain the result of the operation.
