Hi Philippe,
when recording, a GenericDialog records the values (including checkbox settings, Choice menu settings) after the user has pressed the 'OK' button.
When running the macro, it fills in the values and behaves as if the user had pressed 'OK'.
So it won't record pressing any other buttons, and when running the macro it won't simulate pressing any buttons.
If this is ok for you, you can add a Panel with an arbitrary number of buttons to the GenericDialog. You have to add your class as an ActionListener for all the buttons and have an actionPerformed method that detects which button was pressed and reacts accordingly. The actionPerformed methods may modify input fields of the GenericDialog, e.g. change the numbers in the numeric fields (getText, setText).
If your plugin implements ExtendedPlugInFilter and DialogListener you may also have a 'preview' checkbox. With preview on, you could e.g. show what a selection with given center coordinates would look like on the image (set a roi or overlay in the run(ip) method).
Michael
