Description

UIdialog is the base class for all dialog objects in the UI Kit.

A UIdialog is not instantiable.

Although UIdialog does not require a parent, it is best to assign one ( UIapp or UIshell). A UIdialog whose isModal is on and that has no parent stops input from getting to any interface in the same process.

UIdialogs are alway stacked on top of their parent so that the parent never obscures its child UIdialogs.

A UIdialog cannot be iconified.
