Examples + of such user gestures include double-clicking an item in a list box + control, or pressing enter when an edit control has the keyboard focus. + The response to a default action makes use of context established by + the preceding event (e.g., the selection set by an initial click + becomes the context for the double-click response). + </para> + </glossdef> + </glossentry> + + <glossentry id="dialog"><glossterm>dialog</glossterm> + <glossdef> + <para> + A dialog is a mechanism for collecting user input or showing + information.
