Yes. You cannot do it with the standard additions. I would suggest that
you use Dialog Director <
http://osaxen.com/?id=dialog_director> to build the
dialog. Here's an example snippet:
-- begin script
set theDialog to {size:[360, 100], contents:[,
{class:push button, bounds:[290, 65, 350, 85], name:"OK", enabled:true},
,
{class:push button, bounds:[210, 65, 270, 85], name:"Quit",
enabled:true}, ,
{class:push button, bounds:[140, 65, 200, 85], name:"Change",
enabled:true}, ,
{class:password field, bounds:[10, 36, 350, 36 + 16], name bounds:,
[10, 10, 350, 26], name:"Enter the password:", value:""}]} --
requires Dialog Director
set theResult to dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale -- requires Dialog
Director
-- end scripts
