Dialog

Description

The Dialog class is a special case of the Form or Window object, with the default properties already set up for a typical dialog box.

It defaults to a non-resizable, standard dialog box border, and a dialog-box background color (typically light gray for Windows and Linux, or the color from the default Aqua theme on Mac OS X). Note that, under Linux, the Window Manager determines how the request for a particular border will be interpreted; under some Window Managers, windows are always resizable.

You can use the Wait method to make the dialog display in modal form. This means that other windows of your application are disabled until the dialog is closed.
