What are the different types of windows ?

Types of windows:

  1. Primary Window:
    • The main window you see when you open an app or start an action.
    • It has the essential menu bar and basic controls.
    • Acts as the foundation for the app’s commands and data.
  2. Secondary Window:
    • Additional windows that can be related or independent.
    • Dependent ones open based on a command in the main window.
    • Independent ones can be opened on their own.
  3. Dialog Boxes:
    • Boxes that pop up to complete an action in a specific context.
    • They can be triggered by a button click or system conditions.
    • Always appear from another window.
  4. Property Sheets and Property Inspectors:
    • Show properties of an object in different ways.
    • Property sheets display all properties, often in a separate window.
    • Property inspectors show commonly used properties dynamically.
  5. Message Boxes:
    • Pop-up windows displaying messages about a situation.
    • Provide information or alerts.
  6. Palette Windows:
    • Secondary windows with sets of controls.
    • Distinguished by visual appearance (images, colors, patterns).
    • Shorter title bar with only a close button.
  7. Pop-up Windows:
    • Display additional information or context-sensitive help.
    • Don’t have standard components like title bars and close buttons.
