The class of dialogs. A dialog is similar to a menu in that it contains a list of items and information on how to display them and what to do when an item is selected and changed. The difference is that within a dialog, items can be displayed in many ways and that the values of items can be changed by the user.
Like menus, dialogs may operate in either continuous or pop-up mode. Pop-up dialogs are called modal dialogs. A pop-up dialog is a window which is always created with window state :shrunk. If the dialog is opened in continuous mode, then it is immediately expanded.
