Hello Do you see Presenty? http://smalltalk-presenty.blogspot.com/ You can try it with prepared image at http://code.google.com/p/smalltalk-presenty In Presenty your example will look like: YourApplicationTask>>body some stuff... answer := user confirm: 'message'. ... And modal mode of confirmation dialog is just one specific setting of it activation which can be different for different parts of your application.

You can do something like this:

dialog := TextEntryDialogWindow new. World openModal: dialog. dialog cancelled ifFalse: [self createAndWrite: dialog entryText].

but I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it. -- Daniel Galdames
