Using a display-only form as a dialog box
Dialog boxes require user interaction and are useful when you want to:
- Prompt users for confirmation.
- Implement a main-detail (or parent-child) relationship between forms where users can edit the main form using a details dialog box.
- Reuse a form in a variety of ways.
- Embed a table that lists options from which users can select.
- Provide a way for users to edit or view a rarely used set of fields, and thus avoid cluttering the main form.
- Provide a way for users to view or edit a set of fields that handle complex calculations of multiple components.
