Chapter 8. Using Standard Dialogs

A huge number of applications need to display dialogs to enable users to select certain standard pieces of information. Two of the most common dialogs enable users to select a file to open and select a file to save into. Other dialogs enable users to select colors, filesystem folders, fonts, and printers for printing.

Closely related to the Print dialog are the Print Preview dialog (which enables users to see a preview of a document before sending it to the printer, possibly saving paper if the user then cancels the document) and the Page Setup dialog (which enables users to modify things like margins before printing).
