-:::demo The three methods mentioned above are repackagings of the `$msgbox` method. This example calls `$msgbox` method directly using the `showCancelButton` attribute, which is used to indicate if a cancel button is displayed. Besides we can use `cancelButtonClass` to add a custom style and `cancelButtonText` to customize the button text (the confirm button also has these fields, and a complete list of fields can be found at the end of this documentation). This example also uses the `beforeClose` attribute. It is a method and will be triggered when the MessageBox instance will be closed, and its execution will stop the instance from closing. It has two parameters: `action` and `instance`. Using it enables you to manipulate the instance before it closes, e.g. activating `loading` for confirm button; you can invoke the `close` method registered on the instance to close the MessageBox instance.

 可自定义配置不同内容。
 
-:::demo 以上三个方法都是对`$msgbox`方法的再包装。本例直接调用`$msgbox`方法，使用了`showCancelButton`字段，用于显示取消按钮。另外可使用`cancelButtonClass`为其添加自定义样式，使用`cancelButtonText`来自定义按钮文本（Confirm 按钮也具有相同的字段，在文末的字段说明中有完整的字段列表）。此例还使用了`beforeClose`属性，它的值是一个方法，会在 MessageBox 的实例关闭前被调用，同时阻止实例的关闭。它有两个参数，分别为`action`和实例本身。使用它能够在关闭前对实例进行一些操作，比如为确定按钮添加`loading`状态等；此时若需要关闭实例，可以调用实例上的`close`方法。
