I haven't been following this thread that closely but is there a
reason you can't just use tests that always test against explicit mrYes?
Seeing as clicking the [x] box returns a ModalResult of 0 (from memory),
it's still a distinct value different from mrYes.

IMO, that's a somewhat limiting attitude.
We decided to reimplement our own MessageDlgHtml so that we
could have Profax standard glyphs and keyboard handling on the buttons and
pass in
which button to focus and an optional HelpTopic for our HtmlHelp.
MessageDlg is a pretty small wheel and it's not at all hard to copy the code
and tweak it.
TTFN,
Paul.
