The following are the input/output data types:
- Dialog: This supports the definition of a simple UI window without the use of a page object. Typically, Dialog windows are used to communicate processing progress or to allow a brief user response to a go/no-go question, although the latter could result in bad performance due to locking. There are other user communication tools as well, but they do not use a Dialog type data item.
- InStream and OutStream: These allow you to read from and write to external files, BLOB data type's, and objects of the automation and DotNet data types.
