Hi

For the buttons is it necessary to give advance warning opens as a
simulated dialog these buttons will opens a dialog ?

Please find the below link

https://www.webaccessibility.com/best_practices.php?technology_platform_idG

"Developers must alert users *when a link is used* to open a simulated
dialog. When *links* do not indicate the purpose of opening a simulated
dialog, users of assistive technology may expect another action and may be
confused when that expected action does not occur. Text should be added *to
the link* alerting users that a simulated dialog will be opened when the
link is activated..."

(*emphasis* added)

*This official W3 example includes a button which does NOT warn of a
pending simulated dialog*
