Buttons indicates which buttons should appear in the dialog. Help_Msg is the message displayed in a separate dialog box when the help button is pressed while the dialog is displayed. If Help_Msg is null, a dialog containing the message "No help available" will be displayed. In both cases, the dialog displayed will only have a OK button. If Title is null, a default title will be chosen depending on the value of Dialog_Type. The dialog will be centered with regards to Parent This function will return only after the user pressed one of the buttons or deleted the dialog, by running an additional level of main loop. One of the following values will be returned: Button_None Button_Abort Button_Yes Button_Ok Button_Retry Button_No Button_Cancel Button_Ignore Button_All
    function Create_Gtk_Dialog
      (Msg                :        Glib.UTF8_String;
       Dialog_Type        :        Message_Dialog_Type

       return Gtk.Dialog.Gtk_Dialog;
| Convenience function to create a new dialog. This function was introduced in GtkAda 2.0 to provide a compatibility with Message_Dialog, while using the standard Gtk.Dialog. You should add the buttons yourself, through Gtk.Dialog.Gtk_Dialog, and then display the dialog on the screen through Gtk.Dialog.Run. As opposed to Message_Dialog, you can provide your own custom buttons if needed.
