Seems like most if not all this code has been done already in the dialog

answer dialog as well.

I'm thinking that if I need to roll my own, then my approach might be to
write a handler that adds or removes the button by script from the
standard Answer Dialog. That was if LC Corporate every makes changed to
the dialog, your project inherits them with a new built under a new
version of the engine.
If you copy the dialog, then you either need to rename it and maintain
it or do manual Inclusions and exclude the engine from conflicting with
your copy.
I was thinking something like:
on mouseUp
dontaskagain "on","Do not show this message again."
answer warning "Some message I may not want to see again." with
"Cancel" or "OK" titled "A Message"
put it into tAnswer
dontaskagain "off"
end mouseUp
command dontaskagain pActivate, pLabel
-- usage:
-- dontaskagain "on|off" [, <some label>]
-- dontaskagain "on","Do not show this message again."
-- answer warning "Some message I may not want to see again." with
"Cancel" or "OK" titled "A Message"
-- put it into tAnswer
-- dontaskagain "off"
switch pActivate
case "on"
-- setup the templateButton
set the style of the templateButton to "checkbox"
set the label of the templateButton to pLabel
set the width of the templateButton to the formattedWidth of the
templateButton
set the height of the templateButton to 23
--
create btn "DontAskAgain" in cd 1 of stack "Answer Dialog"
--
reset the templateButton
break
case "off"
delete btn "DontAskAgain" of cd 1 of stack "Answer Dialog"
break
end switch
end dontaskagain
This adds the checkbox or removes it to the built in Answer Dialog
dynamically. The problem is pre-positioning the checkbox. The dialog has
a preOpenCard handler that does the position and if I position it ahead
of time the code it the preOpenCard changes things
I think I need to insert a openCard handler into the stack dynamically,
which would execute after preOpenCard, that positions the check box OR
attach a behavior script with an "after preOpenCard" handler, but I
don't understand exactly how to do that??
