Hi, how do I make a basic yes/no dialog that comes up and confirms that I wanted to actually press the button I did?

Thanks.

I don't know Delphi, but I belive that you need to show a MsgBox. Try to look at your documentation or maybe somebody here will show you the way.

MessageBox function prototype:

(Toggle Plain Text)

function MessageBox(
            hWnd: Cardinal; 
            lpText, 
            lpCaption: PChar; 
            uType: Cardinal
            ): Integer;

hWnd is the window that the box beloings to
lpText is the message you want displayed
lpCaption is the title of box
uType starts what type of box. Pass "MB_YESNO" (which equals 4) for a yes/no dialog box.

BTW, I've never used Delphi in my life (behold the power of Google

)

Simply write the following:

(Toggle Plain Text)

if MessageDlg('Confirmation text', mtConfirmation, [mbYes, mbNo], 0) = mrYes then
begin
    {...}
end;

if messagebox(application.handle, 'Press Y to Exit ? [Y or N]', pchar(form.caption), MB_YESNO)=IDYES then
exit; // application.terminate;

Check out the ShowMessage function - it's a lot easier to use than MessageBox.

Although I don't think that gives a yes/no option.
On the other hand, if you don't want to press a button, why press it? :p

So it does. OK, MessageDlg.
