AXD uses dialogs frequently. A dialog is a convenient way of grouping together a number of fields, lists, check boxes, and buttons, enabling you to make changes to several related fields or values at the same time.

When you select a menu item that operates in this way, a suitable dialog appears. Enter values, select from lists, select and deselect check boxes until you are satisfied with all the settings. The new settings become effective only when you click the OK button or the Apply button. You can click the Cancel button (or its equivalent) to abandon any changes you have made and leave all settings unchanged. The dialog disappears automatically when you finish using it.

The AXD dialogs are shown and described in Chapter 5 AXD Desktop.
