Some window systems (Microsoft Windows) have fixed button texts and do not allow labeling by the user. Other systems (Motif) do not define texts and allow the application to define them (internationalization).

.msgboxtext has an index. The index can assume values of type enum, with the form button_…. The values are texts (text resources or strings) which contain the strings of the seven available buttons (see objects messagebox and dialog). Usually, the buttons strings are OK, Cancel, Retry, Abort, Ignore, Yes, No.

Index Range

button_cancel

button_no

button_ok
