Actually, I use CreateMessageDIalog function to generate the standard one
and that massage it by reordering buttons, chaging the default, changing
their colour and size. So you odnt have to reinvent the wheel.
I have my own ConfirmYesNo, COnfirmYesNoCancel, Warning, Information etc ..
where the confirm types require a default button and then use the
CreateMessageDlg to customise the beast.

change it - it's not recomended and we would have to change it every time we
reloaded Delphi or upgraded.

again we had to slap ourselves around the head a few times repeating "Don't
re-invent the wheel" until we accepted what was given to us to work with.
