public class DialogApplicationModel

extends ApplicationModel

An application model which supports dialog views.

A dialog view is a secondary window, usually modal, which is opened from a main window to provide supporting processing for the main application. Dialog windows usually have a title bar containing a standard title; the icon is usually derived from the main window, rather than configured by the dialog.

Subclass Responsibilities

Dialogs frequently are invoked to obtain information from the user. Subclasses which implement dialogs whose purpose is to obtain information should reimplement the clearResult method to clear any state which represents the information that is to be returned and implement a suitably-typed getResult or equivalent service(s) to allow the dialog client to access the information obtained by the dialog.
