A LongBool value of True or False. If this is a DEADEND_ALERT, False is always the return value. If this is a RECOVERY_ALERT. The return value will be True if the user presses the left mouse button in response to your message, and False if the user presses the right hand button is response to your text, or if the alert could not be posted.
