Dialog Boxes

Mathematica's unified symbolic architecture makes it incredibly easy to create dialog boxes that range from the straightforward to the highly elaborate and customized. Every dialog box is a notebook with arbitrary layout and styling, in which arbitrary actions defined by Mathematica programs can immediately be applied through Mathematica's Dynamic mechanism.

MessageDialog — put up a dialog box to display a message

ChoiceDialog — put up a dialog box with buttons to make choices

DialogInput — put up a dialog and return what is supplied to DialogReturn

CreateDialog — put up a dialog, but let Mathematica evaluation continue

DialogNotebook — create a custom dialog window

Input , InputString — get input from a simple dialog box

SystemDialogInput — get input through system dialog boxes (files, colors, sound, ...)
