Hello All,
I am wondering if it is possible to change the standard buttons (OK and Cancel) of the ask password dialogue? E. g. 'Yes' instead of 'OK', 'No' instead of 'Cancel'?
Thanks!

Re: Ask password dialogue buttons
You can put any number of buttons on an answer dialog, I don't think (or haven't found) the way to do this specifically with the ask password dialog.

Re: Ask password dialogue buttons
Yes, this is possible, because the ASK and ANSWER dialogs are, well, just stacks! 
Open the message box, type:
hit ENTER and edit it right away!
Hint:
Do ONLY change the LABEL of these two buttons, but not their NAME!
There are script in the stacks that need them to be named OK and CANCEL.
If you want a "temporary" solution, do like this:
Open the message box, type:
Code: Select all

If you are on a Mac then only the "temporary" solution is possible, since we are not allowed
to save things/stacks inside of the app package in the APPLICATION folder!

Okay I'm on Linux and used the temporary solution, which works well. I wasn't aware that those dialogues are stacks
. Many thanks!

Inspiration: LiveCode is made with LiveCode. Everything you see in the IDE is scripted in LiveCode. It's all infinitely moddable.redfield wrote: Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:14 am I wasn't aware that those dialogues are stacks. Many thanks!
