FYI: User Interfaces - buttons on message boxes

Post by Susan Smith »

Hi all,

I ran across an article today on the blog of Jan Goyvaerts, who is the Belgian man who wrote EditPad Pro. This article is about the naming of buttons on screens and I thought you might find it interesting as it relates to the programming that we do every day. I realize that we can't customize the messages on the built BR msgbox function, but there are many other places where we place Yes/No/Cancel buttons OUTSIDE of message boxes, so it may still be relevant.

Additionally, David Blankenship and George Tisdale have free utilities to produce message boxes that DO allow you to customize the button text.
