Mathematica's unified symbolic architecture makes it incredibly easy to create dialog boxes that range from the straightforward to the highly elaborate and customized. Every dialog box is a notebook with arbitrary layout and styling, in which arbitrary actions defined by
Mathematica programs can immediately be applied through
Mathematica's
Dynamic mechanism.
MessageDialog — put up a dialog box to display a message
ChoiceDialog — put up a dialog box with buttons to make choices
DialogInput — put up a dialog and return what is supplied to
DialogReturn
CreateDialog — put up a dialog, but let
Mathematica evaluation continue
DialogNotebook — create a custom dialog window
Input,
InputString — get input from a simple dialog box
SystemDialogInput — get input through system dialog boxes (files, colors, sound, ...)
DialogReturn — close a dialog, possibly returning a value
Modal — specify whether a dialog box is modal to the front end
