Abstract
We have already looked at how to create Windows applications which use forms. In this chapter we are going to look at a special type of form called a dialog. A dialog is normally a modal form which waits for user input and does not allow the application to proceed until it is closed. The MessageBox class is a pre-defined dialog box which can be used for common operations. In addition there are a set of standard dialogs which carry out common operations such as selecting a file or a colour. In this chapter we are going to look at:
-
The MessageBox class
-
The InputBox function.
-
Some standard Windows dialogs.
