<descr>
<p>
<var>TMsgDlgType</var> is an alias to the <var>TMsgDlgType</var> enumerated 
type in the RTL <file>system.uitypes.pp</file> unit. TMsgDlgType defines a 
type of dialog implemented in a message box. Values in the enumeration 
determine the caption, icon, string literals, and buttons displayed in various 
dialog types.
</p>
<p>
Values from the enumeration can be represented using the descriptive modal 
dialog type constants, such as: mtWarning, mtError, mtInformation, 
mtConfirmation, and mtCustom.
</p>
<p>
Values from TMsgDlgType are used in several routines, such as: 
<var>MessageDlg</var>, <var>MessageDlgPos</var>,<var> MessageDlgPosHelp</var>, 
<var>CreateMessageDialog</var>, <var>QuestionDlg</var>, and 
<var>LazMessageDlg</var>.

<var>DoCanClose</var> is an overridden method in <var>TFileDialog</var> used 
to perform actions needed when an attempt is made to close the dialog. It 
ensures that the inherited method is called only when the OK button was 
pressed on the dialog. If the Esc key was pressed, or the dialog is closed 
using the close icon, the inherited method is <b>not</b> called. This 
prevents the OnCanClose event from being signalled when the dialog has 
actually been cancelled. CanClose is set to <b>True</b> in this situation.

<p>
This is done to maintain compatibility with Delphi VCL behavior.

<descr>
<p>
<var>CheckAllFiles</var> is a <var>Boolean</var> function used to validate 
values in the FileName and Files properties using the Options enabled for the 
dialog. 
</p>
<p>
<var>FileName</var> is checked when a non-empty string value has been 
assigned to the property, or when ofAllowMultiSelect has been <b>omitted</b> 
from the Options property. The lines of text in the Files property are 
validated when ofAllowMultiSelect has been <b>included</b> in the Options 
property.
</p>
<p>
CheckAllFiles calls the CheckFile method to validate and potentially update a 
file name. A file name modified in CheckFile to include a file extension is 
stored in the origin property (FileName or Files).
</p>
<p>
The return value is <b>True</b> if the file name(s) meet the requirements for 
the Options property and the local file system.

</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>DoCanClose</var> is an overridden method in <var>TOpenDialog</var>. It 
ensures that a dialog using the classic style (where ofOldStyleDialog is 
included in Options) does not call the OnCanClose event handler in the 
inherited method. In this situation, the CanClose argument is set to 
<b>True</b> and the internal flag used in the execution loop is set 
indicating that DoCanClose was called.
</p>
<p>
This behavior is Delphi VCL compatible.
</p>
<p>
For Explorer-style dialogs (where ofOldStyleDialog is <b>not</b> included in 
Options), the inherited method is called. This allows the CanClose argument 
to be updated when the OnCanClose event handler is signalled.

<p>
<var>TColorButton</var> - a SpeedButton designed to be used with the Color 
dialog, allowing a color to be selected for text or graphics.
</p>
<p>
To use the ColorButton, first select the ColorButton icon from the Component 
Palette and place it on the Form Designer in the location you want it to 
occupy, then place a TColorDialog on the Form Designer, give it a name (or 
accept the default name) and select this named dialog as the ColorDialog 
property in the Object Inspector for the ColorButton.
</p>
<p>
The default appearance of the ColorButton is a rectangle containing a color; 
if you wish to include a caption beside the block of color, you may need to 
adjust the size of the control to accommodate the text, and you can then 
enter some text in the Caption property of the ColorButton; this text will 
appear next to the color block.
</p>
<p>
At run-time the ColorButton is visible with a default or preselected 
ButtonColor in the block, and any optional caption beside it; the ColorDialog 
is not visible until the ColorButton is clicked, when the ColorDialog pops up 
and offers a choice of colors, either from a list or a palette, and if the 
user makes a selection and closes the dialog by pressing OK, the ColorButton 
will display the color that was chosen in the ColorDialog.
</p>
<p>
Note that in the context of ColorButton, properties with the name ButtonColor 
refer to the color that has been selected and is displayed in the color 
block; properties entitled Color without 'Button' attached refer to the color 
of the control itself, usually the same as the background or the default 
button face color.

</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>DoAutoAdjustLayout</var> is an overridden method in 
<var>TColorButton</var> used to implement changes to control and border sizes 
for the AutoAdjustLayout method. These methods are called when High-DPI and 
scaling have been enabled in the project options for an application.
</p>
<p>
<var>AMode</var> indicates the automatic layout policy applied in the method. 
It is a value from the TLayoutAdjustmentPolicy enumeration, and determines 
whether horizontal / vertical / or both sizes are adjusted in the method. It 
generally reflects the constraints for the device type where the application 
is running.
</p>
<p>
<var>AXProportion</var> and <var>AYProportion</var> contain the scaling 
factors applied to the horizontal and/or vertical sizes.

<p>
<var>DrawGlyph</var> is an overridden method in <var>TColorButton</var>. It 
re-implements the ancestor method to draw the button face and color block (or 
swatch) for the control using the arguments passed to the method.
</p>
<p>
The value in AState determines the appearance for the glyph (color swatch). 
When set to bsDisabled, a bitmap with a disabled pattern (dotted lines) is 
drawn using the Color for the button face. Otherwise, the value in 
ButtonColor is used to draw the glyph. GetGlyphSize is called to get the 
dimensions for the glyph based on the settings in ButtonColorAutoSize and 
ButtonColorSize.
</p>
<p>
The return value is a TRect instance with the bounds affected in the drawing 
operation.

<descr>
<p>
<var>GetGlyphSize</var> is an overridden <var>TSize</var> function used to 
get the dimensions for the glyph (color block / swatch) displayed on the 
button control. Values in ButtonColorAutoSize and ButtonColorSize determine 
the height and width used for the color block displayed on the control.
</p>
<p>
When ButtonColorAutoSize is set to <b>True</b>, the color block is auto-sized 
to fill the unused client area for the control specified in the PaintRect 
argument. Space is reserved for the Caption (color name), Spacing, 
BorderWidth, and Margin properties assigned to the control.
</p>
<p>
When ButtonColorAutoSize is <b>False</b>, ButtonColorSize is used as both the 
width and height for the color block.
</p>
<p>
The return value is a TSize instance where the width and height for the color 
block are stored in the CX and CY members (respectively). Layout determines 
whether spacing is reserved in the horizontal (blGlyphLeft, blGlyphRight) or 
vertical (blGlyphTop, blGlyphBottom) dimensions.

In general, Caption can be used to provide a human-readable value for the 
selected color in ButtonColor. The value in Caption is not, however, 
automatically linked to the selected color value. Use the OnColorChanged 
event handler to update the value in Caption as needed when the color 
selection has been changed.

<p>
<var>TFontDialog</var> is a <var>TCommonDialog</var> descendant which

<p>
TFontDialog displays selection lists for font name, size, style, and color. 
It can be configured to limit the available typefaces, sizes, and visual 
presentations using the Options, MinFontSize and MaxFontSize properties.
</p>
<p>
At run-time, TFontDialog is mapped to the native font selection dialog used 
for a given platform. Use Options to enable or disable features or behaviors 
in the dialog. Enabling an option does not mean that it is automatically 
available. Some options may not be supported in the native dialog for a given 
platform.
</p>
<p>
When the dialog is executed, the selected font and its attributes is made

<p>
<var>Execute</var> is an overridden <var>Boolean</var> function used to 
display the internal dialog form and respond to button clicks on the form. 
Execute reimplements the method defined in the ancestor class, and does 
<b>not</b> call the inherited method.
</p>
<p>
If a TForm instance already exists in the dialog class, it is reused. If not, 
CreateForm is called to create and configure the TForm instance displayed for 
the dialog. The return value is <b>False</b> if a TForm instance was not 
successfully created in CreateForm.
</p>
<p>
When a valid form exists for the dialog, it is positioned on the screen by 
calling CalcPosition. SetFormValues is called to transfer property values in 
the class instance to the dialog form. The Title, HelpContext, OnClose and 
OnShow properties in the form are updated and its Show method is called to 
display and execute the form. Values from the Height and Width properties in 
the form are stored in the dialog class for use as the default size.
</p>
<p>
The return value is <b>True</b> if the form was successfully configured and 
displayed in the method.
</p>
<p>
Use the OnFind, OnHelpClicked event handlers to perform actions needed when 
either the Find or the Help button on the dialog form is clicked. The Cancel

<p>
<var>Initialize</var> is a method used to apply the values in the progress bar 
by notifying the task dialog and its widget. This includes setting the progress 
bar display style, its minimum and maximum range values, the current position, 
the drawing state, and the update frequency for a progress bar drawn using the 
marquee style.
</p>
<p>
Initialize is called from the DoOnDialogConstructed method in the task dialog 
when the Handle for the task dialog has been assigned. No actions are performed

<p>
<var>SetRange</var> is a method used to apply the values in the <var>AMin</var> 
and <var>AMax</var> arguments to the progress bar control on a task dialog. 
SetRange is called when the value for the Min or Max property has been updated 
in the class instance. No actions are performed in the method if the argument 
values are the same as the existing property values in the class instance.
</p>
<p>
SetRange ensures that values in the AMin and AMax are in the range 0..High(
Word) (32767). This is done to ensure that the values are valid for the 
platforms and APIs where the value is used. If a valid is too small, it is set 
to 0. If a value is too large, it is set to High(Word). If AMin is larger than 
AMax, AMin is set to the value in the upper limit.
</p>
<p>
SetRange also ensures that the value in Position is within the range specified 
by Min..Max.
</p>
<p>
SetRange updates the task dialog where the progress bar is displayed when the 
Flags property in the dialog includes the value tfShowProgressBar and the 
Handle for the dialog has been assigned. A TDM_SET_PROGRESS_BAR_RANGE message 
is sent using the Handle for the dialog and the newly assigned values for Min 
and Max.
</p>
<p>
Use the Min and Max properties to set the lower and upper limits for the value

TCustomTaskDialog is the base class for TaskDialog, and provides a 
multi-platform implementation of the Windows TaskDialog API. It provides 
properties which can be used to configure the task dialog at design-time or at 
run-time. At run-time, the <var>Execute</var> method handles converting 
properties and calling routines and methods in the widgetset which implement 
the task dialog for a given platform.
</p>
<p>
<b>Platform Support</b>
</p>
<p>
The TaskDialog API, upon which TCustomTaskDialog and TTaskDialog are based, is 
available only on Windows Vista or later versions. On these platforms, the form 
displayed at run-time is the native form for the platform. On older Windows 
versions, and other platforms, the TaskDialog API is not available or 
supported. For these platforms, a standard LCL form is created and populated at 
run-time to emulate the appearance and behaviors for the Windows 
implementation. This occurs in the widget set class and uses the components 
found in the <file>taskdlgemulation.pp</file> unit. It can be forced by 
including a value in the Flags property for the class instance.
</p>
</descr>
<version>
Modified in LCL version 4.0. The implementation for the most part is rewritten, 
and includes additional features not found in previous versions.

<element name="TCustomTaskDialog.DoExecute">
<short>
Performs actions to configure and execute the dialog.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>DoExecute</var> is a <var>Boolean</var> function used to initialize and 
execute the task dialog form. It is called from the Execute method and uses the 
handle in ParentWnd as the parent form for the task dialog.
</p>
<p>
DoExecute sets the default values for properties used as return values for the 
dialog like ModalResult (mrNone) and QueryResult (''). It calls the Execute 
method in the widgetset class instance to perform the actions needed for the 
platform. On Windows Vista and later versions, this causes the native routines 
in the Win32 Task Dialog API to be called. For other platforms, including 
Windows versions prior to Vista, the emulated task dialog in TLCLTaskDialog is 
used in the widget.
</p>
<p>
Use the Flags property to specify which features or behaviors are enabled on 
the task dialog form.
</p>
<p>
DoExecute captures various return values from the widgetset class. These 
include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The button identifier used to close the dialog form.
</li>
<li>
The modal result value for the button identifier used to close the form.
</li>
<li>
The optional radio button selected on the dialog.
</li>
<li>
The value from a query control on the dialog and its index position in the 
query choices.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The return value is <b>False</b> if the button identifier returned from the 
widget is a negative value. The return value is <b>True</b> if the dialog form 
was successfully displayed, and a valid button identifier was used to close the 
form - including when Esc, Alt+F4 or the Cancel button is used.
</p>
<remark>
This behavior is different than other LCL dialogs where a ModalResult of 
mrCancel would cause Execute / DoExecute to return <b>False</b>. This is 
consistent with the task dialog behavior in the Delphi VCL; the Delphi 
documentation states otherwise but it is incorrect.

<element name="TCustomTaskDialog.ButtonIDToModalResult">
<short>
Gets the modal result value for the button with the specified identifier.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>ButtonIDToModalResult</var> is a <var>TModalResult</var> function used to 
get the modal result value for the button with the identifier specified in the 
<var>AButtonID</var> argument.
</p>
<p>
AButtonID contains one of the button identifier constants which correspond to 
the standard Buttons used on the task dialog, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>IDOK</li>
<li>IDCANCEL</li>
<li>IDABORT</li>
<li>IDRETRY</li>
<li>IDIGNORE</li>
<li>IDYES</li>
<li>IDNO</li>
<li>IDCLOSE</li>
</ul>
<p>
If AButtonID is in the range of button identifiers starting at 
TaskDialogFirstButtonIndex, but is not found in Buttons, the value in AButtonID 
is used in the return value. If the identifier is valid for and found in 
Buttons, the return value is set to one the modal result constants like:
</p>
<ul>
<li>mrOK</li>
<li>mrCancel</li>
<li>mrAbort</li>
<li>mrRetry</li>
<li>mrIgnore</li>
<li>mrYes</li>
<li>mrNo</li>
<li>mrClose</li>
<li>mrNone</li>
</ul>
<p>
The return value is set to mrNone if AButtonID is not valid for or not found in 
the Buttons collection.

ButtonIDToModalResult is called from the DoExecute method using the button 
identifier returned from the Execute method in the widgetset class instance.

<element name="TCustomTaskDialog.Execute">
<short>Displays the task dialog and captures the modal result value.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>Execute</var> is an overloaded <var>Boolean</var> function used to 
display the dialog and capture the value for the ModalResult property. The 
parameterless variant is normally called to display and execute the dialog 
form. It gets the handle for the active form which is used as the parent for 
the task dialog form from the Screen singleton. If a TCustomForm has not been 
assigned in Screen, the unassigned handle value (0) is used. The overloaded 
variant is called using the handle value as an argument.
</p>
<p>
Execute calls the <var>DoExecute</var> method to perform actions needed to 
initialize and display the dialog form. It also processes return values used in 
properties like ModalResult, QueryResult, QueryItemIndex, Button, and 
RadioButton.
</p>
<p>
The return value is <b>True</b> if the dialog was successfully displayed and a 
valid button identifier was clicked to close the dialog - including when Esc, 
Alt+F4 or the Cancel button is used.
</p>
<remark>
This behavior is different than other LCL dialogs where a ModalResult of 
mrCancel would cause Execute / DoExecute to return <b>False</b>. This is 
consistent with the task dialog behavior in the Delphi VCL; the Delphi 
documentation states otherwise but it is incorrect.

Changing the property value causes validation and normalization of the flag 
values to be performed. tfQuery and tfSimpleQuery are mutually exclusive 
values; if both are specified in the property value, then tfSimpleQuery is 
excluded from the new property value. In addition, tfQuery and tfSimpleQuery 
causes other flag values to be ignored, and certain features are disbaled. They

Event handler signalled when the interval for the timer on the dialog has

</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>OnTimer</var> is a <var>TTaskDlgTimerEvent</var> property with the event 
handler signalled when the interval for the timer in the task dialog has 
elapsed. It is signalled (when assigned) from the DoOnTimer method and receives 
values for the object instance, tick count since the timer was started, and a 
reset flag.
</p>
<p>
For the native Windows Task Dialog API, it occurs when the TDN_TIMER 
notification is handled in the callback procedure for the dialog. For platforms 
which use an emulated task dialog, it occurs when the handler routine for the 
internal TTimer instance in TLCLTaskDialog has elapsed. The timer interval is 
200ms.
</p>
<p>
An application can implement and assign a handler using the signature in 
TTaskDlgTimerEvent to perform actions needed when the notification occurs in 
the class instance.

<p>
<var>OnRadioButtonClicked</var> is a <var>TNotifyEvent</var> property with the

</p>

<p>
For native implementations using the Task Dialog API (supported Windows 
versions), it occurs when the TDN_RADIO_BUTTON_CLICKED notification is handled 
in the callback routine for the class instance. For emulated task dialog forms, 
it occurs when the corresponding event handler implementation for the LCL form 
instance is called.

dialog has been clicked. The URL property contains the target for the hyperlink in the event notification.
</p>
<p>
Hyperlinks may appear in the Text, ExpandedText, and FooterText properties. 
They use the common HTML Anchor notation like:

<element name="TTaskDialog">
<short>
Implements a configurable modal task dialog.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>TTaskDialog</var> is a <var>TCustomTaskDialog</var> descendant which 
implements a configurable, modal task dialog. It can be used to display and 
edit information on a dialog form with more features than those available on a 
standard message box.
</p>
<p>
TTaskDialog sets the visibility for properties introduced in ancestor classes, 
and provides a multi-platform implementation of the Windows TaskDialog API. It 
provides properties which can be used to configure the task dialog at 
design-time or at run-time. At run-time, the <var>Execute</var> method handles 
converting properties and calling routines and methods in the widgetset which 
implement the task dialog for a given platform.
</p>
<p>
<b>Platform Support</b>
</p>
<p>
The TaskDialog API, upon which TTaskDialog is based, is available only on 
Windows Vista or later versions. On these platforms, the form displayed at 
run-time is the native form for the platform. On older Windows versions, and 
other platforms, the TaskDialog API is not available or supported. For these 
platforms, a standard LCL form is created and populated at run-time to emulate 
the appearance and behaviors for the Windows implementation. This occurs in the 
widget set class and uses the components found in the 
<file>taskdlgemulation.pp</file> unit. It can be forced by including a value in 
the Flags property for the class instance.
</p>
<p>

<p>
There are four versions of this function.
</p>
<p>
The first version displays a dialog with the standard caption. The second, 
third and fourth versions enable you to set the caption.
</p>
<p>
The third version allows for a Default button.
</p>
<p>
The fourth version contains a help keyword instead of using context-based 
help.
</p>
<p>
If the first Caption argument is missing, no caption is shown on the box.
</p>
<p>
This is the most complete and elaborate of the message dialogs, and allows 
the programmer considerable control over the appearance of the dialog box.
</p>
<p>
The arguments defining the kind of box and its icon are types rather than 
integer constants, and the buttons can be specified as a set in square 
brackets e.g. [mbRetry, mbIgnore, mbAbort, mbCancel].
</p>
<p>
The HelpCtx argument allows the use of Context Help
</p>
<p>
The return value from the Function is the identity of the button pressed, 
expressed as an integer (see the constant definitions in <link 
id="Controls.TControl">TControl</link> , [mrNone..mrAll]).

DialogCaption
</dt>
<dd>
The caption for the dialog, displayed in the title bar for the dialog form.

Application title if DialogType is not one of the idDialogBase values.
</dd>
<dt>

</dt>
<dd>

idButtonIgnore, idButtonAll, idButtonYesToAll, or idButtonNoToAll. Buttons 
using the identifiers idButtonOpen, idButtonSave, and idButtonShield are not 
implemented in the current LCL version. The values for each of the buttons 
indicate the default icon and text for the button, as well as its modal 
result value.
</dd>
<dt>
ButtonCount
</dt>
<dd>
Contains the number of elements for the Buttons array.
</dd>
<dt>
DefaultIndex
</dt>
<dd>
Contains the ordinal position for the default button on the dialog. This is 
the button clicked when the Enter or the Space key is pressed during modal 
display of the dialog.
</dd>
<dt>
EscapeIndex
</dt>
<dd>
Contains the ordinal position for the button clicked when the Escape key is 
pressed during modal display of the dialog.
</dd>
<dt>
UseDefaultPos
</dt>
<dd>
Indicates if the dialog is displayed using the default position for the 
dialog form. When set to <b>True</b>, the value poDesigned is used in the 
Position property for the dialog form. When set to <b>False</b>, the values 
in the X and Y parameters are used in the Left and Top properties for the 
dialog form.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
The return value contains the LongInt value returned for the button clicked 
on the dialog. It corresponds to the values passed in the Buttons argument, 
but may be changed to the value in EscapeIndex if the Escape key was pressed 
during dialog display.
</p>
<p>
The size and layout for elements on the dialog are calculated when the dialog 
form is created. The maximum width and height for the dialog is the largest 
space needed for the icon, message text and buttons on the dialog. For 
small-format devices (width is 300 pixel or less), a width of 200 pixels is 
used on the dialog form.
</p>
<p>
<b>Example</b>:
</p>
<code>
uses
  LCLType;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  btns: array[0..2] of LongInt = (idButtonOK, idButtonCancel, idButtonHelp);
  res: LongInt;

<element name="QuestionDlg">
<short>
Shows a question to the user and gets a response. Similar to MessageDlg, but 
allows to use custom button captions and user-specified response values.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>QuestionDlg</var> has the same functionality as MessageDlg except for 
the <var>Buttons</var> parameter which is of a different type. You can define 
your own captions, return values, and optional flags in Buttons using this 
function.
</p>
<p>
<var>ACaption</var> contains the text displayed as the title for the dialog 
form.
</p>
<p>
<var>AMsg</var> contains the text displayed within the content area for the 
dialog form. It represents the question to be answered using the dialog.
</p>
<p>
<var>DlgType</var> contains a value from the TMsgDlgType enumeration, and 
determines the icon displayed on the dialog form. See <link 
id="TMsgDlgType">TMsgDlgType</link> for the values in the enumeration and 
their meanings.
</p>
<p>
<var>Buttons</var> is defined as an array of const values, and contains the 
numeric identifiers and optional captions and flags for the buttons displayed 
on the dialog. QuestionDlg examines the values in Buttons, and creates a 
button instance for each numeric identifier in the array. Usually, the button 
identifiers are specified using <var>TModalResult</var> constants like mrOk 
or mrCancel (defined in <link id="Controls"/>); these buttons will be 
decorated with an icon associated with the modal result value. Other integer 
values can be used as well, but their buttons will not have an icon. The 
order of the buttons on the dialog form will be the same as the order of the 
numeric values in the array elements.
</p>
<p>
Each string following a numeric button identifier denotes the caption for the 
button. When the button identifier is one of the default 
<var>TModalResult</var> values defined in controls.pp 
(<var>mrNone..mrLast</var>), the caption can be omitted and the default 
caption will be used. For non-<var>TModalResult</var> identifiers, the 
caption <b>MUST</b> be specified. An empty string is not allowed as a 
caption; it will raise a run-time error.
</p>
<p>
You can mark one button as the default button by adding the 'IsDefault' 
option after the caption string. When the user presses the Return key, this 
button is triggered. An exception is raised if more than one button has the 
'IsDefault' designation.
</p>
<p>
Some widgetsets provide an Escape key and/or a close button for the dialog. 
This results in <var>mrCancel</var> in the return value, even if it is not in 
the given button list. Use the 'IsCancel' option after the caption string to 
cause the button to close the dialog. An exception is raised if more than one 
button has the 'IsCancel' designation.
</p>
<p>
You can use both 'IsDefault' and 'IsCancel' flags values for a given button 
by including both strings as arguments following the caption value. Values in 
button flags are case-insensitive; 'IsDefault' is considered the same as 
'isdefault'.
</p>
<p>
The numeric identifier for the button clicked on the dialog is returned by 
the <var>QuestionDlg()</var> function.
</p>
<p>
The overloaded routines allow a help topic to be displayed when the F1 key is 
pressed. <var>HelpCtx</var> is the numeric identifier for the help topic 
passed as an argument to the AskUser routine in the widgetset. 
<var>HelpKeyword</var> is a string value that identifies the help topic. 
Please note that HelpKeyword is not implemented in the current LCL version; 
the numeric help context 0 is always used in the overloaded routine.
</p>
<p>
<b>Examples:</b>
</p>
<code>
var
  res: TModalResult;
//...

// OK, Cancel dialog using default button captions
res := QuestionDlg('Confirm', 'Delete all files and directories?', mtConfirmation,
  [mrOK, mrCancel], 0);
//...


// OK, Cancel dialog with custom button captions and accelerator keys
res := QuestionDlg('Confirm', 'Delete all files and directories?', mtConfirmation,
  [mrOK, '&amp;Do it!', mrCancel, '&amp;Nope'], 0);
//...

// custom modal result values and captions
res := QuestionDlg('Question', 'Is it Okay?', mtConfirmation,
 [400, 'Yes!!!', 401, 'Not cool', 402, 'My mistake'], 0);  
//...

// Yes, No, Cancel with custom captions and button flags
res := QuestionDlg('COPYING', 'Abort?', mtConfirmation,
  [mrNo,'&amp;No', mrYes,'&amp;Yes', mrCancel, '&amp;Cancel', 'IsDefault', 'IsCancel'], 0);

case res of
  mrYes: ShowMessage('You clicked Yes');

<element name="DefaultQuestionDialog">
<short>
Implements a widgetset-independent dialog similar to QuestionDlg.
</short>
<descr>
<p>DefaultQuestionDialog displays a message dialog, similar to QuestionDlg, 
but it uses a LCL <var>TForm</var> instance instead of relying on dialogs 
provided by the operating system. The content displayed on the dialog form is 
specified by the arguments passed to the routine, including:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>aCaption</dt>
<dd>
The title of the dialog, displayed in the title bar of the dialog form. In 
case of an empty string (''), the default caption of the dialog type 
(<var>DlgType</var> parameter) is selected, or, when the <var>DlgType</var> 
is not one of the <var>idDialogXXX</var> values the application title is used 
instead.
</dd>
<dt>aMsg</dt>
<dd>The text of the message or question displayed in the dialog</dd>
<dt>DlgType</dt>
<dd>
A LongInt value which defines the icon and default caption displayed for the 
dialog. It contains one of the constant values defined in the 
<var>LCLType</var> unit like: <var>idDialogWarning</var>, 
<var>idDialogError</var>, <var>idDialogInfo</var>, 
<var>idDialogConfirm</var>, or <var>idDialogShield</var>. Do not use the 
<var>mtXXXX</var> values used by other dialogs, they will produce the wrong 
icon.
</dd>
<dt>Buttons</dt>
<dd>A collection of items representing the buttons shown in the dialog. Each 
item describes the button by its caption, an integer value which is returned 
by the function when this button is clicked, as well as boolean flags to 
identify the "Default" or "Cancel" button. The return value is typed 
<var>TModalResult</var>, but any other integers can be used as well. Be 
careful if you plan to use the <var>idButtonXXX</var> constants declared in 
the <var>LCLType</var> unit because they will assign the icons to the buttons 
differently. An empty caption string is NOT replaced by a default string here.
</dd>
<dt>HelpCtx</dt>
<dd>Help context value for the help text to be displayed when the user 
presses F1.</dd>
</dl>
<p>
<b>Example</b>
</p>
<p>
Since <var>Buttons</var> is a <var>TCollection</var> each item must be added 
individually:
</p>
<code>
var
  btns: TDialogButtons;  // requires "uses InterfaceBase"
  res: Integer;
...
  btns := TDialogButtons.Create(TDialogButton);
  with btns.Add do
  begin
    Caption := 'OK';
    ModalResult := mrOK;
  end;
  with btns.Add do
  begin
    Caption := 'Cancel now';
    ModalResult := mrCancel;
  end;
  with btns.Add do
  begin
    Caption := 'Ignore';
    ModalResult := mrIgnore;
  end;
  with btns.Add do
  begin
    Caption := 'Do it';
    ModalResult := 300;
    Default := true;
  end;

  res := DefaultQuestionDialog('This is the caption', 'This is the title', idDialogError, btns, 0);
</code>
<p>
This code will display a dialog box with the following four buttons:
</p>
<ul>
<li>'Ok' returning mrOk</li>
<li>'Cancel now' returning mrCancel</li>
<li>'Ignore' returning mrIgnore</li>
<li>'Do it' returning 300. This will be the default button (focused)</li>

<element name="PromptForFileName">
<short>
Displays a file open or save dialog to select a file name for the operation.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
PromptForFileName is a Boolean function used to display an Open or Save 
dialog using the values passed as arguments to the routine. It creates a 
<var>TOpenDialog</var> or a <var>TSaveDialog</var> instance for use in the 
routine. The <var>AIsSaveDialog</var> argument determines which dialog class 
is used in the routine.
</p>
<p>
Argument values are assigned to the corresponding properties in the dialog 
class. The Execute method in the dialog class is called to perform file 
selection or creation as needed, and its return value is used as the return 
value for the routine. The return value is <b>True</b> when the Execute 
method for the dialog class returns <b>True</b>.
</p>
<p>
<var>AFilename</var> contains the initially selected file name in the dialog, 
and is updated with the value selected using the dialog. A default value is 
not provided for the argument. If the dialog returns <b>True</b>, the 
FileName property in the dialog class is assigned to the AFileName argument.
</p>
<p>
<var>AFilter</var> contains file masks that can be selected in the dialog. 
The default value is an empty string ('') and causes the all files mask 
('*.*' or '*') to be used. See TFileDialog.Filter for more information about 
the notation allowed in the argument.
</p>
<p>
<var>ADefaultExt</var> contains the file extension used for the file name 
selected in the routine. The default value for the argument is an empty 
string ('') and indicates that a default file extension is not used. See 
TFileDialog.DefaultExt for more information about default extensions.
</p>
<p>
<var>ATitle</var> contains the caption displayed on the dialog. The default 
value is an empty string ('') and allows the default value provided by the 
dialog class to be used.
</p>
<p>
<var>AInitialDir</var> indicates the initial directory when the dialog is 
displayed. The default value is an empty string ('') and causes the current 
directory in the application to be used as the initial directory in the 
dialog.

<element name="InputQuery">
<short>Use InputQuery to show a dialog box to get input from the user.</short>
<descr>
<p>
Two versions of this function which displays a prompt and expects user input 
of textual data.
</p>
<p>
The first includes a <var>MaskInput</var> boolean argument which determines 
whether the user input is masked out by asterisks in the text-input box (like 
during entry of a password). The second variant omits this argument. Omitting 
the MaskInput argument is equivalent to setting it to <b>False</b>.
</p>
<p>
<var>Value</var> contains the initial text displayed in the edit control for 
the dialog. The text entered by the user is also returned in the variable 
argument Value.
</p>
<p>
The function result is a boolean which returns <b>True</b> if the OK button 
was pressed, or <var>False</var> if the box was closed by any other mechanism 
(such as clicking the 'Close' icon on the top title bar).
</p>
<p>
Another overloaded variant allows Arrays with String values to be passed in 
the APrompts and AValues arguments. They are used to create labels and edit 
controls on the dialog form, where the user can supply multiple values. The 
number of labels and edit controls on the dialog is determined by the length 
of the AValues array. An exception is raised when the APrompts and AValues 
arrays do not have the same length.
</p>
<p>
An event handler routine can be provided in the ACloseEvent argument to 
validate the input values, and determine if the dialog can be closed. It is 
signalled when the input dialog is closed by clicking the Cancel button or 
the Close icon on the dialog form. The handler returns an Array of String 
values input using the dialog.

<element name="InputCombo">
<short>
Creates and executes a combo-box dialog with the specified Caption, Prompt, 
and list of selectable values.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>InputCombo</var> is an Integer function used to create and display an 
input dialog with the values specified in the arguments to the routine.
</p>
<p>
The dialog form is constructed at run-time, and includes the controls needed 
to display the prompt (<var>TLabel</var>) and list of selectable items 
(<var>TComboBox</var>). It also includes a button panel 
(<var>TButtonPanel</var>) with <b>Ok</b> and <b>Cancel</b> buttons. The 
<var>Caption</var> for the dialog form is set to the <var>ACaption</var> 
argument.
</p>
<p>
The dimensions for the dialog form are determined by the maximum length of 
the string values passed in the function parameters. The form uses 
auto-scaling when enabled for the <var>Application</var>. Scaled size values 
are applied to the font for the form and its controls, as well the margins 
and separators used for control alignment. <var>Anchors</var> and 
<var>BorderSpacing</var> are used for control alignment to preserve their 
layout during auto-sizing and scaling operations. The display 
<var>Position</var> for the form is set to <var>poScreenCenter</var>.
</p>
<p>
InputCombo calls the <var>ShowModal</var> method for the <var>TForm</var> 
instance to display the dialog and capture the modal result value. When the 
modal result is <var>mrOk</var> (the OK button was pressed), the return value 
contains the ordinal position for the item in AList that was selected in the 
combo-box control. The return value is <b>-1</b> when the Cancel button or 
the Close border decoration is clicked.
</p>
<p>
Use <var>InputComboEx</var> to display a dialog form that allows custom text 
to be entered in its combo-box control. Use <var>InputQuery</var> to display 
a dialog form which allows entry of a text value using an edit mask.

values in its Items.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>InputComboEx</var> is an overloaded <var>String</var> function used to 
create and display a dialog form that can select a value specified in the 
<var>AList</var> argument. The overloaded variants allow the AList argument 
to be specified as a <var>TStrings</var> instance or an array of 
<var>String</var> values.

<p>
<var>ACaption</var> contains the caption displayed as the title for the 
dialog form.
</p>
<p>
<var>APrompt</var> contains a string displayed as the label for the combo-box 
control.
</p>
<p>
<var>AllowCustomText</var> is a <var>Boolean</var> argument which indicates 
if text values can be added to the combo-box control at run-time. When set to 
<b>True</b>, text can be added to the TComboBox control. This is enabled by 
setting its <var>Style</var> property to <var>csDropDown</var> instead of 
<var>csDropDownList</var> (the default). The default value for the argument 
is <b>False</b> and prevents adding custom text to the combo-box control.
</p>
<p>
The dialog form is constructed at run-time, and includes the controls needed 
to display the prompt (<var>TLabel</var>) and list of selectable items 
(<var>TComboBox</var>). It also includes a button panel 
(<var>TButtonPanel</var>) with <b>Ok</b> and <b>Cancel</b> buttons. The 
<var>Caption</var> for the dialog form is set to the <var>ACaption</var> 
argument.
</p>
<p>
The dimensions for the dialog form are determined by the maximum length of 
the string values passed in the function parameters. The form uses 
auto-scaling when enabled for the <var>Application</var>. Scaled size values 
are applied to the font for the form and its controls, as well the margins
