I have done such a thing using a table.

Sorry, I thought it was clear that you have to show the widget - my
mistake.

To process GTK events: 
  while gtk_events_pending() gtk_main_iteration()
as shown in the docs.

You could place the code, which would be executed into the callbacks of
the buttons. I see no need to place the code into the calling function.
So the OK button callback would delete a file, the CANCEL button callback
would do nothing.
