Abstract
Apple provides plenty of prewritten and tested code you can reuse from the Cocoa framework. Besides letting you create a program faster, prewritten code also ensures that your program looks and behaves like a typical Mac program. One of the common elements of every Mac program are dialog boxes, which are windows that pop up and allow the user to print, open, or save a file. Rather than force you to create these common user interface elements yourself, Apple provides you with built-in dialog boxes that you can plug into your own program.
