Alerts
PBAlert
Opaque object handle: (not documented yet)
This is a subclass of PBWindow. You can safely cast from PBAlert to PBWindow. To cast from PBWindow to PBAlert, call PBAlertCast; this performs a runtime assertion to check the cast is possible. This function is thread-safe.
This object maintains an internal reference count. When the reference count reaches zero, the object will be automatically deallocated. To increment the reference count, call PBElementRetain; to decrement the reference count, call PBElementRelease. These functions are thread-safe.

PBAlertAddSimpleError
Function: Show a simple error message in an alert.
Syntax (C/C++)
void PBAlertAddSimpleError(PBWindowRef _Nullable owner, ConstStr message,
ConstStr description);
Syntax (Python)
AlertAddSimpleError(owner, message, description)
Parameters and Return Values
[in] owner (nullable referenced PBWindow): The owner window to which to attach the alert; or null to leave it unattached.
[in] message (referenced string): The error message itself.
[in] description (referenced string): An extended description of the error.
Discussion
This function returns immediately; it does not wait for the user to close the alert.
The alert will display the error message and description (if provided), as well as a single button to dismiss the alert.
If an owner window is given, then the user will not be able to interact with that window through the keyboard or mouse until the alert error is dismissed.
Example (C/C++)
PBAlertAddSimpleError(window, PB_STR("The folder is inaccessible."),
PB_STR("You may not have permission to open it."));
