Dialog Boxes |
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.
