PRIM_DLG (PRIM_DLG)

Simple modal dialog with shroud

Ancestors - Panel (PRIM_PANL) Container (PRIM_CPST) Control (PRIM_CTRL) Object (PRIM_OBJT)

Details

A Dialog is one of a set of controls designed to work together to build a typical mobile application framework.
 
Along with View, dialogs are used to present the application functionality, providing a modal window typically used for editors or detailers.
 
The other controls are -
 
Application title bar which is used to as the header of the application
 
Application Draw which is used to present the application menu
 
View Container used to manage and organize the views in an application
 
Application View used to present the application functionality
 
Menu Item used as a menu item on the Application Draw

Example

This is a simpified example showing how the various parts interact.
 
In a real world application, the Views would be reusable parts.
