These values correspond to the notice’s status. The notice status contains the value of the but-

ton that was selected on the notice. The location where the status is stored can be set with the

attribute NOTICE_STATUS. If NOTICE_STATUS is not set, the notice status can still be

obtained by using xv_get() on NOTICE_STATUS. If the attributes NOTICE_BUTTON_YES

and NOTICE_BUTTON_NO are used, the notice status is either set to NOTICE_YES or

NOTICE_NO, depending upon the user’s notice button selection, which causes the notice to

pop-down. As shown in simple_notice.c, the strings associated with the “Yes” and “No” but-

tons are set with the attributes NOTICE_BUTTON_YES and NOTICE_BUTTON_NO. The notice

button created with NOTICE_BUTTON_YES is the default button and will have the OPEN LOOK

default ring around it.

The notice choices listed above also respond to accelerator keys. In other words, in addition

to the RETURN key, whatever key that is mapped to the semantic action

ACTION_DEFAULT_ACTION can also be used to select the NOTICE_BUTTON_YES button. The

key that is mapped to the semantic action ACTION_STOP can be used to select the

NOTICE_BUTTON_NO button.

When the notice window is mapped, the cursor is immediately warped (moved) to the default

button since it is the default response of the notice.

It is quite common for the application to have more than one appropriate response to some

kind of notice ...
