What does cancel do (differently from no)?
If they were consistent, it probably pops up a confirmation dialog.
-
Cancel cancels the dialog. No also cancels the dialog. Yes cancels the process. Clicking the X in the top right cancels the dialog.
-
Ah. So Cancel equals No, which is what I thought would happen. (I assume you weren't expecting any other behavior by clicking X.)
A WTF to be sure, but a minor one. You'd think the developer would know the difference between MB_YESNO and MB_YESNOCANCEL. Maybe he was using a stupid framework that didn't expose the former.
-
The question it asks is "Are you sure you want to cancel?" and all four possible answers cancel something.
-
Yes, but it cancels two different things.
MessageBox is of limited utility. (next sentence not directed at you) If you don't like what it does, write your own dialog.

This needs to be a thing.
Please confirm you want do perform action.
[ OK ] [ Cancel ] [ Ask me the same question again ]

Do you want to cancel the cancel so you can cancel while you cancel?

auto-erotic cancellation?
-
Please confirm you want to perform action by clicking the word "confirm" on this sentence or typing "go"; cancel the action by clicking the word "cancel" in this sentence or typing "dont"; or, show you didn't read any of this by clicking any of the buttons, closing the dialog box or pressing Enter or Escape. You'll get this dialog box again until you learn.[ OK ] [ Cancel ]

Do you want to cancel the cancel so you can cancel while you cancel?
You dwog I saw you liked some cancel with your cancel so I put a cancel in your cancel to cancel your cancel!

I think I’ve seen some errors dialogs which read
Nothing to undo. [Cancel]
That’s fine until you translate it to French, where « Annuler » is used for both “Cancel” and “Undo”.
Hilarity ensues.

Hilarity ensues.Yes, I recall seeing that on my iPhone (4, using IOS something-or-other, 5.* I think). I thought it was hysterical. Useless, but hysterical.

Are you sure you want to cancel?
Yes = Yes, I am sure, cancel it.
No = No, I'm not sure, but cancel it.
Cancel = I don't know if I'm sure or not so DO NOT CANCEL
[X] = Too many questions!

TDEMSYFrenchR!
ETA I mean the French, not you.

It literally means "make void", so it does make sense in a way.

Instead of blaming me, maybe you could blame the translator who chose in the 80's to use the same word for both terms?

Well, in a narrow sense, that's true. But Cancel and Undo aren't really the same thing. But of 'em mean "stop" but only undo means "also, back up".

Since I didn't blame you (seriously, it was even in the text you quoted!), I left off the rest of what you said.

QFT. This is the thought process every time I click [x] on a modal or dialogue.
