/**
 * This class is the abstract superclass of the classes
 * that represent the built in platform dialogs.
 * A <code>Dialog</code> typically contains other widgets
 * that are not accessible. A <code>Dialog</code> is not
 * a <code>Widget</code>.
 * <p>
 * This class can also be used as the abstract superclass
 * for user-designed dialogs. Such dialogs usually consist
 * of a Shell with child widgets. The basic template for a
 * user-defined dialog typically looks something like this:
 * <code>
 * public class MyDialog extends Dialog {
 *	Object result;
 *		
 *	public MyDialog (Shell parent, int style) {
 *		super (parent, style);
 *	}
 *	public MyDialog (Shell parent) {
 *		this (parent, 0); // your default style bits go here (not the Shell's style bits)
 *	}
 *	public Object open () {
 *		Shell parent = getParent();
 *		Shell shell = new Shell(parent, SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);
 *		shell.setText(getText());
 *		// Your code goes here (widget creation, set result, etc).
 *		shell.open();
 *		Display display = parent.getDisplay();
 *		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
 *			if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
 *		}
 *		return result;
 *	}
 * }
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * Note: The <em>modality</em> styles supported by this class
 * must be treated as <em>HINT</em>s, because not all are
 * supported by every subclass on every platform. If a modality style
 * is not supported, it is "upgraded" to a more restrictive modality
 * style that is supported.  For example, if <code>PRIMARY_MODAL</code>
 * is not supported by a particular dialog, it would be upgraded to 
 * <code>APPLICATION_MODAL</code>. In addition, as is the case
 * for shells, the window manager for the desktop on which the
 * instance is visible has ultimate control over the appearance
 * and behavior of the instance, including its modality.
