Remarks
Like other XGameUI* functions, XGameUiShowMessageDialogAsync renders it's UI outside of the title partition, and the result is composited with the title's output before each frame is sent to the display device. This means that XGameUiShowMessageDialogAsync can be used to present information to a user whether or not the game is even rendering.
Calling for UI will cause your game to enter constrained mode. In constrained mode your title will receive fewer system resources while it is in the background of the UI that has been called for.

The following example code illustrates using this method in a development scenario to create blocking UI waiting for input. This can be particularly useful to pause current execution at the location of a crashing failure and either reporting the crash location or prompting the developer to attach a debugger.
if (FAILED(XGameRuntimeInitialize()))
return 1;
XTaskQueueHandle queue;
DX::ThrowIfFailed(
XTaskQueueCreate(XTaskQueueDispatchMode::ThreadPool, XTaskQueueDispatchMode::Immediate, &queue)
);
XAsyncBlock* ab = new XAsyncBlock;
ZeroMemory(ab, sizeof(XAsyncBlock));
ab->queue = queue;
// show dialog, wait for completion, get result.
XGameUiMessageDialogButton button;
if (SUCCEEDED(XGameUiShowMessageDialogAsync(ab, u8"Title String", u8"This is content text",
u8"Option #1", u8"Option #2", u8"Option #3",
XGameUiMessageDialogButton::First,
XGameUiMessageDialogButton::Third)) &&
SUCCEEDED(XAsyncGetStatus(ab, true)) &&
SUCCEEDED(XGameUiShowMessageDialogResult(ab, &button)))
{
DoSomethingWithResponse(button); // set breakpoint here to investigate
}
