Exit buttons and error tiles are used to close a dialog box and provide information when a problem is encountered.
The base.dcl file provides standard button subassemblies for exiting (or “retiring”) a dialog box. Use these standard versions to maintain a consistent appearance across applications.
You can customize the text in these buttons by using the prototype retirement_button.
