Dialog Boxes
Definition
Dialog boxes are smaller than the total size of the screen and generally do not include
a bottom row of function keys. The purpose of a dialog box is to input a single piece
of data. This piece of data may be as simple as confirming the user’s request for the
system to perform an action. (Refer to Figure 2.19.)
Data is entered into dialog boxes the same as it is entered into the working area of any
screen.

<Cancel>
button. This button closes the dialog box

This button can also be selected by pressing
[Alt + c]

Some dialog boxes will have an
<OK>
button. This button accepts the data being
entered or confirms a user’s request for an action. If this button is selected:

• the dialog box closes
This button can also be selected by pressing
[Alt + o]
