Qt QDialogs
Remarks
The QDialog class is the base class of dialog windows. A dialog window is a top-level window mostly used for short-term tasks and brief communications with the user. QDialogs may be modal or modeless.
Note that QDialog (and any other widget that has type Qt::Dialog) uses the parent widget slightly differently from other classes in Qt. A dialog is always a top-level widget, but if it has a parent, its default location is centered on top of the parent's top-level widget (if it is not top-level itself). It will also share the parent's taskbar entry.
A modal dialog is a dialog that blocks input to other visible windows in the same application. Dialogs that are used to request a file name from the user or that are used to set application preferences are usually modal. Dialogs can be application modal (the default) or window modal.
The most common way to display a modal dialog is to call its exec() function. When the user closes the dialog, exec() will provide a useful return value.
A modeless dialog is a dialog that operates independently of other windows in the same application. Modeless dialogs are displayed using show(), which returns control to the caller immediately.
