Customize NSAlert?

Hi Jerry. The simplest way to add a "Don't show me this again" checkbox to NSAlert is (somewhat inevitably) to use an undocumented API. There are two messages which are relevant. Firstly:

- (void) _setDontWarnMessage: (NSString *) message;

You use this message to set the text for your checkbox while setting up your NSAlert but (obviously) before calling runModal.

Secondly, after calling runModal, you can use the message below to test whether the user checked the box.

- (BOOL) _dontWarnAgain;

At this point someone will doubtless read me the riot act for mentioning undocumented calls. :-)

But the simplicity of use of these two methods contrasts strongly with the major PITA that you have to go through without them. This functionality is needed so frequently that this stuff really SHOULD be part of the official API.

Dave
