Sure, but those are not standard dialogs. I think what Frank was saying
was that there ISN'T a standard dialog for this sort of thing, and that
apps that do it have all rolled their own.
Have you looked into Alfred Van Hoek's NavDialog plugin? I don't really
know much about it, so I don't know that it'll solve the problem, but
it's worth looking into.
