Problem The example shows how to set up a simple yes-no dialog box, just like the previous example. However, to show you that there's really nothing "magical" in a GtkDialog, we will set up the buttons manually as shown below. This looks like a simple example. But it's the first step towards getting more control over GtkDialog.
Solution
- Set up two standard GtkButtons — one 'Yes' and the other 'No'.
- Register the signal clicked for these two buttons. Attach an integer to be passed along together with the signal to serve as the response_id when the button is clicked. Note that you can use any integer. Or you can use the pre-defined constant such as
RESPONSE_YES and RESPONSE_NO.
- Set up an event handler for the button click. When a button is clicked, we manually emit a response signal using GtkDialog::response().

function setup_yes_no_dialog() {

$dialog->set_title('Yes/No Dialog');
$label = new GtkLabel("Do you like PHP-Gtk2?");
$dialog->vbox->pack_start($label);
$button_yes = GtkButton::new_from_stock(Gtk::STOCK_YES); // note 1
$button_no = GtkButton::new_from_stock(Gtk::STOCK_NO); // note 2
$button_yes->connect('clicked', 'on_ok_button', $dialog, 100); // note 3
$button_no->connect('clicked', 'on_ok_button', $dialog, 200);

Explanation
- Create the Yes button.
- Create the No button.
- Set up event handlers. Note how we pass the response_id along with the signals. For the response_id for Yes is 100, and for No is 200.
- Pack the two buttons inside a hbox.
- Manually emit the response signal.
- Echo the response. For
Yes, we have arbitrarily assigned it a value of 100. For No, the value is 200.
