Re: [eclipse-dev] Re: The "Yes, No, Always, Never" Dialogs

I hope the API is flexible enough for
teams to add new controls and functionality.  For example, the "You
have a breakpoint" dialog should allow you to disable or clear the
breakpoint in your image right fromt the dialog.

Kevin Barnes has contributed a patch to Platform UI
providing support for 
toggle dialogs with (optionally) a backing preference store.  This
support 
has now been added to CVS.  It is located in "org.eclipse.jface"
and is 
called MessageDialogWithToggle.

I would encourage teams using yes/no/always/never/(cancel) dialogs to migrate
to this API.  Also, if teams have already written their own class
to handle 
this type of thing, it would be nice if you would migrate as well.  Ideally,
we would like to avoid duplication of this functionality throughout Eclipse,
for obvious reasons (e.g., common look & feel, ease of maintenance,
etc.)

Please let me know if there are problems with the API (especially missing
functionality).  You can either email me directly, or append notes
to Bug 
54347 ("https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=54347").



thanks,
d.
