To display a dialog box, you can call its Show method as Object.ShowMethodAnother method to display a dialog box is to assign a value to the action property of the Common Dialog Box control as follows: Object.Action = ValueThe Show methods and the values for the action property for different dialog boxes are given in the following table. Dialog Box Method Action Value can be as to Open it will require ShowOpen, To Save the dialog box mehod it will use As ShowSave, If you need any Color in dialog box then you can use ShowColor, you also have an option of font in visual basic environment as ShowFont, you can also Print as ShowPrint, and the last is the Properties of Common Dialog Box which can be achieved as controlCancelErrorIf set to True, an error is generated if the user clicks the Cancel button.

It contains the default extension for the filename. DialogTitle. It contains the text to be displayed in the title bar or the dialog box. This title is only applicable to the Open and Save As dialog boxes. FileName It contains the name of the file selected by the user or typed in by the user in the Open and Save As dialog boxes. Filter it identifies the types of files that are included in the File Type Combo box of the dialog box.

Example: cdlDialog.Filter = "Text|*.txt|Graphics|*.bmp;*.jpeg;*.gif" FilterIndex It returns or sets the default filter for Open or Save As dialog boxes. The index for the first filter is 1. InitDir It identifies the default directory for Open and Save As dialog box. The files from this directory are displayed by default. This is the perfect example of a dialog box in visual basic 6.0. I think with example you will be able to understand the term dialog box in visual basic 6.0.
