Glossary

#Glossary This page defines various terms used in the project for clarification and to prevent misunderstandings. Please note that the same terms may have a different meaning in other projects what is the reason for creating the glossary. However we try to use terms in the way they are meant to be.

##Dialog A Dialog is a main part of a UI and allows the end-user to view information, edit content or perform operations. It is typically displayed in the content area of the MainWindow (MainDialog) but may also be shown in a Popup. However, it should not be mixed with the term Popup as done in various other projects or context.

##MainWindow The main window of the application. In case of a web-application this is the browser window (or more precisely a tab). In case of a native client the main window potentially containing the menu bar, etc.

##Popup A popup is a modal window of the UI that is opened for a temporary interaction with the end-user. After the popup is closed the end-user can continue in the parent dialog or popup. Popups are of the following types:

• Information popup (An error, warning or information message confirmed with OK)
• Confirmation popup (A question confirmed with Yes, No, or other options)
• Dialog popup (A Dialog displayed in a popup)

##UI Shortcut for user interface.

##UIT Shortcut for UI Toolkit.
