BaseContext :: decision - Get user decision

The function allows prompting a command line input or a message box in order to let the user make decisions. The question for the decision should be defined in an error message (project resource in the resource database). The error message will be identified by the number passed to the decision.

When no message number is passed ( 0 ), the decision question is constructed from up to three message parameter strings passed to the function.

For predefined messages, the parameters passed are used for replacing message variables defined in the message.

When the context handle does not refer to a valid context instance the function throws an exception.
