Remarks

It can be used to gather simple text or numeric input from the user without the need for creating a custom window.

It can also provide a search interface if the appropriate constructor used. In this case, a Find button is shown instead of an OK button. When the Find button is clicked, the given FindProc method is called and the window is not closed.
