Hi List,
In looking at how to add a "In the future, do not show this warning" checkbox to the dialog as Mr. Harris suggests, I can built a special dialog ( essentially a slightly modified copy of display_simple_dialog() ) that contains the checkbox. This would involve code duplication, is there a better way? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
