Chapter 9 Dialog Boxes

Dialog boxes are pop-up windows that users interact with when using your
Microsoft Windows application. Typically, dialog boxes contain one or more
controls.

This chapter covers the following topics:

What a dialog box is

Creating and using both modal and modeless dialog boxes

Creating a dialog box procedure

Using controls in dialog boxes

This chapter does not contain a discussion of a sample application that uses dialog boxes. How you can use dialog boxes has changed for Windows version 3.1, which now provides common dialog boxes. For more information about using common dialog boxes in your applications, see the Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference, Volume 1.
