Mac OS 8.5 Dialog Manager Reference

The Dialog Manager provides a simplified human interface that you can use to readily implement dialog boxes and alert boxes. Your program typically uses dialog boxes and alert boxes to present information to and solicit information from the user.

This document describes the Dialog Manager application programming interface (API) introduced with Mac OS 8.5 and Appearance Manager 1.1, as follows:

• Gestalt Selector for the Mac OS 8.5 Dialog Manager
• Functions for the Mac OS 8.5 Dialog Manager
• Result Codes for the Mac OS 8.5 Dialog Manager

Note that pre-existing Dialog Manager functions, types, and constants are not discussed in this document. For a description of the Mac OS 8 Dialog Manager API, see Mac OS 8 Dialog Manager Reference . For descriptions of the pre-Mac OS 8 Dialog Manager API, see Inside Macintosh: Macintosh Toolbox Essentials .
