I think the point is about MessageBox function (windows version)

int MessageBox(
    HWND hWnd,    // handle of owner window
    LPCTSTR lpText,    // address of text in message box
    LPCTSTR lpCaption,    // address of title of message box
    UINT uType     // style of message box
   );

with uType = MB_OK for vNoticeDialog, and MB_YESNO for
vYNReplyDialog. That will make these two dialogs a bit more
native and "yes" will be translated to local language (if that ).

BTW, the new version (2.0) is supposed to be fixed for const
parameters, I think it's great. But could it be close to STL,
I mean nice formal for vNoticeDialog could be

void vNoticeDialog::Notice(const string& msg)

Any hope? or, Bruce, can I contribute with this?
