Dialog Styles

In OnDialogResponse, pressing button1 sets response to 1, while pressing button2 sets response to 0.
Every dialog can have an optional button 2. To make it disappear leave it empty, like in the first example. Players won't be able to click it, but they will be able to press ESC and trigger OnDialogResponse with response = 0.
ShowPlayerDialog: Color embedding can be used for every string: caption, info, button1 and button2.

This page describes the behavior of ShowPlayerDialog and OnDialogResponse.
For various limitations, visit the Limits page.
For the response examples, this code will be used:

public OnDialogResponse( playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[ ] )
{
    printf( "playerid = %d, dialogid = YOUR_DIALOGID, response = %d, listitem = %d, inputtext = '%s' (size: %d)", playerid, response, listitem, inputtext, strlen( inputtext ) );
    return 1;
}

Response output

listitem is always -1.
inputtext is the text written by the user, including colors.

// wrote "input" and pressed the left button
playerid = 0, dialogid = YOUR_DIALOGID, response = 1, listitem = -1, inputtext = 'input' (size: 5)
