Dialog pages behave more like dialog boxes and have elements such as drop-down
menus, checkboxes, and other typical dialog box??“type elements. When changes are made
to a Dialog page, you can apply or cancel the changes by clicking the appropriate button
in the Actions pane. If there are any important alerts that the IIS Manager would like to
bring to your attention, they are displayed in the Alerts pane on top of the Actions pane
(see Figure 6-7). This modular approach makes the user interface much easier to extend. If
additional features are developed in the future, you can create an appropriate page layout
to represent the properties of that feature and attach it to the IIS Manager interface. This is
easier than modifying the numerous tabs to integrate the feature into the old IIS interface.
TIP You may have noticed the address bar at the top of the IIS Manager Console (see Figure 6-4).
This functions similar to the Windows Explorer address bar, in that as you drill down through the hierarchy
of servers, Web sites, and properties, you can use the address bar to go back to previous screens or
quickly go up to a higher level within the hierarchy.
