Modal Dialogs are windows that come up, on top of page content, to provide for specific actions or communication with the user. They are modal in nature and force the user to take an action in order to excuse the Dialog and continue with the primary UI window.

Dim Sum provides both a framework for creating custom Dialogs and a variety of predefined layouts for specific enterprise activities including:

  • Information
  • Decision
  • Selection
  • Form
  • Wizard

In general, Dialogs should not call other Dialogs, however if there is a need for a secondary dialog the "Modal Slide" component should be used.
