Would it be extended for simple alert boxes and so on?
Not a bad idea, but where do we draw the line?
I can see a use for "native" menus in such a tool too (in fact, in OS
X this would probably be easy, since every Allegro program already has
a menu bar). Presumably that's crossing that particular line? ;)
There is no way to forcefully cancel a dialog box. If you pop up a
file
dialog, but then the user decides to quit the program without closing
that dialog the you'll probably have a problem as the event queue
might
be destroyed already.
In my opinion, it should probably be a blocking call. In OS X, this is
also the expected behavior of a file dialog popup, so that's how I'm
thinking to implement it there.
