Working with Dialog Boxes
When a program needs more information from you or needs to alert you to
something, a dialog box appears. There are two types of dialog boxes: one
that requires a response before you can continue and one that stays open
after you have responded to it.
Two Types.of Dialog Boxes
.@
Do-Notpointer
The first type of dialog box requires a response from you before you can
continue. If you move the glidepad pointer outside this type of dialog box,
the pointer changes to a do-notpointer. One example of this type of dialog
box is the New/Open dialog box. You cannot do anything else in the
program until you respond to this type of dialog box.
The second type of dialog box stays open until you close it or exit the
program. An example of this type of dialog box is the Page Size or the Page
Setup dialog boxes that you may open from the File menu.
