The following dialog is displayed when the ConfirmationType.NeedSaveChanges value is passed:

The “Do you want to save changes?” text is obtained from the Application Model‘s Localization | Confirmations | Save node, and is localizable.

The following dialog is displayed when the ConfirmationType.CancelChanges value is passed:

AskConfirmation_Cancel

The “Do you want to cancel your changes?” text is obtained from the Application Model’s Localization | Confirmations | Cancel node, and is localizable.

This method is used in the WinModificationsController Controller, to display confirmation dialogs when the ModificationsController.CancelAction Action is executed, or the View is closed. To use the AskConfirmation method in a custom Controller, access the WinApplication object via the Controller.Application property.
