A Dialog Box can be used when you want to display a modal window to the user. This is typically used when the application needs to ask the user for some required information before continuing with an operation. Dialog Boxes can be opened directly from the navigator or started through an action performed in another window. When the dialog is open, the rest of the application will not be accessible until the Dialog Box is closed.
If the user needs to enter more data in a consecutive sequence of steps, a Wizard may be a more appropriate window to use.
Dialog Boxes are derived from the cDialogBox class.
