Re: widget::dialog

Jeff,

any chance that widget::dialog could be enhanced to include the specification of a default button?
Is there anyway to specify the "blocking synchronization" of a dialog box in a top-level widget?

Thanks again.

widget::dialog tries to act like a proper dialog shell with some widget-like interaction and a lot of flexibility.  tk_dialog is a more limited dialog shell only (taking just a message and names of buttons).  Indeed, that's been replaced by the core tk_messageBox which is similarly restrictive because it delegates out to the native OS message box.
