What Is A Dialog Box?
A dialog box is an onscreen message box or window that enables you to choose options and sends other information to a program. It conveys information to, or requests information from the user. The computer does its best to do what you want it to do. When it is asked to do something and it needs more information, it starts a dialog with you to see what your intentions are. The dialog box gives you control over how the computer does your tasks. Sometimes the computer thinks it has enough information to do what you want and goes its merry way. You can always initiate the dialog so that the computer will do what you want it to.
