The XtraOpenFileDialog, XtraSaveFileDialog, and XtraFolderBrowserDialog class instances replace standard Windows “Save As”, “Open”, and “Browse For Folder” dialogs. The DevExpress WinForms installation ships with two options for file and folder browsers: Dialogs are typically used to interact with users and retrieve information. XtraDialogs are advanced message boxes that can display user controls in their client areas. The default form editor is TextEdit, but you can replace it with any BaseEdit descendant. The XtraInputBox is a simple edit form with an editor and OK/ Cancel buttons. The XtraMessageBox class object is a simple message box with buttons. DevExpress counterparts for these standard elements support skins, which allow you to achieve a unified appearance across the entire application.
Components in this section replace traditional WinForms dialogs, message boxes, alerts, and other notification UI elements.
