hotkeys for button choices in answer

[Bob Sneidar]

Maybe a dialog is not the way to go in those circumstances. If it's a choice between several things that are not standard yes/no choices, perhaps a menu or radio button would work better? I have always seen dialogs as a way to interrupt the normal flow of data entry, and alert the user to a condition that needs closer attention. 

I suppose in the case of things like print dialogs that doesn't hold true, but then the print dialog is not really being used as a classic dialog, but rather a mini data entry form in it's own right.
