What is the difference between PopUpWindow and Dialog?

Question

Basically the question is stated in the title. Any preferences in using one or another? Maybe some specific tasks where one is superior/ more efficient/ better than the other?

Answer 1

Here are the differences between popup box and dialog box. A dialog box typically has a question(s) and a prompt for an answer within the box itself. For example, the box may have dialog that says, "Do you want to close the window? There might be button such as CANCEL, YES, NO.

Therefore, there is a simulated dialog between the box and the user.

In a popup box, although there may be required input or selections from menus, dropdowns, etc., there will typically be no dialog because the box information itself is intuitive for the user.

Hope that helps to clarify it for you.
