Dialog Boxes

Synopsis

Dialog boxes are temporary windows that applications use to request your attention or input. Dialog boxes usually don’t have a resizable border (although File Open/Save Dialogs do), and they almost always have OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons. Dialog boxes are usually “modal,” which means that when they’re open, you can’t use any other part of the owning application until they’re closed. See Windows, later in this chapter, for more information.
