The easy way is to go to
<http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/helpers.html>, download
Myriad Helpers, add NSAlert+MyriadHelpers.h and NSAlert+MyriadHelpers.m to
your project, and use something like:
tell current application's NSAlert to set theAlert to
makeAlert_buttons_text_("An alert", {"Cancel", "OK"}, "Further explanation")
tell theAlert to showModalWait_(5) -- returns name of the button, or "Gave
up"
The hard way is to create an NSAlert, set up a timer to call abortModal() on
the alert, add the timer to the main run loop in NSModalPanelRunLoopMode,
show the alert as a modal alert, and be ready to invalidate the timer if the
user clicks on your button.
Your choice...
