Dialog Window
A Dialog Window is a window that requests additional information about an
action
.
A dialog window appears when you issue a command that requires more
specific information. For example when opening a file, you are prompted
to specify the filename. Dialogs that guide you through more complex
processes are called wizards.
Some dialogs simply ask you for a confirmation, such as when a file may be overwritten or inform you of an error condition. Those dialogs are also called messages or message windows.
