Manager: Dialog Manager

Carbon will support the Dialog Manager. However, Apple encourages you to ensure that your application accesses Dialog Manager data structures only through the supplied accessor functions. The use of these accessor functions, to be provided soon, will give your application greater threading flexibility in Mac OS X. Furthermore, you are encouraged to use the functions provided for creating and disposing of Dialog Manager data structures. In Mac OS X, applications might not be allowed to create and dispose of Dialog Manager data structures except by calling Dialog Manager functions.
