FAQ Topic - How do I change the confirm box to say yes/no
or default to cancel?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The buttons on a confirm box cannot be changed, nor can you
specify a default button. However, you should be able to change
the question so that "OK" is suitable as the default.
e.g. change "We will now buy ourselves a Porsche with your credit
card, Do you want to continue with this transaction _OK_ Cancel"
to "We will now buy ourselves a Porsche with your credit card,
Would you like to abandon this transaction? _OK_ Cancel"

Probably best to keep that question confusing. ;-)

It's not about the default as the FAQ implies. It's not even supposed
to be a question for OK/Cancel. For that type of interaction, you
should use a statement.
"We will now charge a Porsche to your credit card."
