// I'm really not a fan of hacks like this. They're brittle and if done wrong
// they can actually crash apps. But unfortunately the inner template for
// ContentDialog is not easily changed and having the "don't remind me again"
// check box floating up near the content looks really bad.
//
// Though the implementation below is brittle, at least it should not crash
// if the default template changes and is not likely to break existing content.
