Where Are We?

This chapter deals with topics that are often dialog- related : getting data in and out, validating data, and letting users know about the required data format (including providing access to online help). But none of these topics is specific to "dialogs" (which is a slippery term to get hold of anyway). However, in this chapter and Chapter 2: Forms, we've covered almost everything a programmer needs to know about forms. If there are things that you haven't seen that interest you, such as drag and drop and form localization, you'll want to read on, especially Chapter 8: Controls (for drag and drop) and Chapter 10: Resources (for form localization).
