Choosing Between Two Related Alternatives With or Without Previous Message

The most general form of a dialog box containing a prompt is the dialog box which requires the user to choose between related alternatives. It can be preceded by a message or warning or diagnostic information.

(Message) + Decision
(POPUP_TO_DECIDE and POPUP_TO_DECIDE_WITH_MESSAGE)

Sometimes the system asks the user an either/or question which does not allow yes/no answers. In this case, the alternatives available to the user must be clear. The system can display a message first.
