A dialog with four buttons is a single function call that draws the dialog, spews some text from a string, and auto-populates buttons with words. There are, you guessed it right, 7 parameters - "message", button count, default button focus, button string1, button string2, button string3, button string4. There isn't a "layout" or "object re-class" that can be applied. But thanks for the suggestion, and it certainly is within my power to write my own dialog and call it instead... | |

For the third option, forget about it until your boss/customer understands that he expecting good quality software with good quality UI built on a crappy framework with just textboxes and buttons is like expecting a Lamborghini to be built from wood and some rusty old pieces of metal. | |

Option 3 is definitely broken due to poor API design (text boxes and buttons are the only things available). Still, thank you for constructive commentary. :) | |
