[SOLVED] Ask password dialogue buttons

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!

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.

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:
Code: Select all
...
set the LABEL of btn "Cancel" of cd 1 of stack "Ask Dialog" to "No"
set the LABEL of btn "OK" of cd 1 of stack "Ask Dialog" to "Yes"
ask password...
...

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!
