First, I had to correct a small bug in your test program. According to
the docs for "gtk_dialog_set_alternative_button_order", the argument
list has to be terminated with -1 (patch attached).
I tested on Windows XP, first with the Cygwin linux layer, then with a
native port of GCC (MinGW).
In my personal opinion, this method does the right thing on Windows.
OS: Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 + Cygwin
GTK version: 2.6.10
Output message: "Button order is the usual one: Cancel, OK"
Button order: [Help] ... [Cancel] [OK]
I guess this is correct for Cygwin: it manages to emulate Linux even at
the GUI level.
The "..." above means: if you stretch the window, Help stays on the left
and the other two go to the right.
OS: Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 + MinGW
GTK version: 2.8.18
Output message: "Button order is the alternative one: OK, Cancel"
Button order: [Help] ... [OK] [Cancel]
It appears reasonable, and works by default.
Some other native applications:
- The Gimp (also uses GTK):
[Help] ... [OK] [Cancel]
[Help] ... [Reset] [OK] [Cancel]
Also:
"Save the changes before closing?"
... [Save] [Don't Save] [Cancel]
"There is one image with unsaved changes"
[Help] ... [Discard Changes] [Cancel]
- Firefox (tools->options) and C++ Builder 5 (project->options):
... [OK] [Cancel] [Help]
- Microsoft Word 2000 (tools->options)
... [OK] [Cancel]
However, the help button in Word is a question mark on the title bar, at
the left of the close button of the dialog:
[ Options ... ? X ]
You press it, and the mouse pointer gains a question mark. You click on
a dialog item, and a tooltip-style help message appears.
Also:
"Do you want to save the changes?"
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]
- Internet Explorer (tools->Internet options):
... [OK] [Cancel] [Apply]
Like Word, there is also a question mark on the titlebar.
