Message-ID: <E1G7hfu-0003Ki-5m@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <uy7u9mtsj.fsf@gnu.org> (message from Eli Zaretskii on Mon, 31 Jul 2006 22:57:32 +0300)
When Emacs wants to pop the YES/NO dialog, it calls the function
x-popup-dialog (Fx_popup_dialog), which in the Windows port currently
creates a menu instead of a dialog and pops that menu. This function
(x-popup-dialog) is a general-purpose function, it doesn't know, nor
care, what it gets as the contents of the dialog. It isn't called
only for the YES/NO type of dialog, you can have other dialogs with
arbitrary long lists of alternatives.
It is ok to add Cancel to every dialog box.
In my setup, which is GNU/Linux with GNOME, every dialog
window has a box with an x to cancel it, and that will have the effect
of causing a quit. This is useful.
To add a Cancel option on systems which don't present the kill-window
box would be useful too.
If it is inconvenient to determine which systems have the kill-window
box, adding a Cancel option in every dialog would also be ok.
On systems where the window does have a kill-this-window box,
the Cancel option will be redundant, but not harmful.
