Description
Displays a DUIM frame as a dialog box.
The function start-dialog dynamically binds an <abort> restart around the event loop for the dialog that is started. The restart allows the event loop to be re-entered, and enables any callbacks run from the dialog to signal an <abort> (via the abort function, for instance), in order to terminate execution of the current callback and return to event processing. This facility is useful for implementing operations that cancel gestures and for debugging DUIM applications from Dylan debuggers.
