The igDialogWindow is a component which allows you to open both modal and non-modal dialogs on a page. Behaviors like close, pin, maximize and minimize are available for each dialog.

Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igDialogWindow control.

For details on how to reference the required scripts and themes for the igDialogWindow control read, Using JavaScript Resources in Ignite UI and Styling and Theming Ignite UI.
