Like property sheets, dialog boxes commonly include OK and Cancel command buttons. Use OK to apply the values in the dialog box and close the window. If the user chooses Cancel, the changes are ignored and the window is closed, canceling the operation the user chose. OK and Cancel buttons work best for dialog boxes that allow the user to set the parameters for a particular command. Typically, define OK to be the default command button when the dialog box window opens.
You can include other command buttons in a dialog box in addition to or replacing the OK and Cancel buttons. Label your command buttons to clearly define the button's purpose, but be as concise as possible. Long, wordy labels make it difficult for the user to easily scan and interpret a dialog box's purpose. Follow the design conventions for command buttons.
