Here is a code example for a question dialog box:

dlg.setString("dialog message");
if (dlg.get()) ...
}
This code creates a dialog box named dlg that will be destroyed after its use. This dialog box will be transient for the view specified by transientFor. It has two buttons, Ok and Cancel. The method get opens the dialog box and waits for the result. This method returns IlTrue if Ok is chosen, and IlFalse otherwise.
