Summary

Dialogs and menus round out the basic widgets that most applications require, and with what you’ve learned so far, you should be able to write a meaningful application. In this chapter we covered the three dialog functions and the four types of menus, and used almost all of them in the News application as sample code.

The next chapter will cover the remainder of the widgets, but it would be good at this point to build some sample code using widgets and the UI model. With just what’s been covered so far, you can build full-featured applications, but more importantly, the concepts learned here will be used throughout the rest of the book.
