<concept id="GUID-D78B510E-3F5C-4B5D-B53F-917F2DAF6C6A" xml:lang="en"><title>Mixing

dialog and other application architectures</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The dialog-based architecture can be combined successfully with the

other architecture types as long as dialog-based views are only used at the

end points of the navigation structure. </p>

<p>AVKON supports view switching within an application and, more significantly,

view switching between applications. This feature raises issues for modal

dialogs, such as AVKON forms and queries. When there is such a modal dialog

open, possibly with new data entered, and another application view is switched

to (presumably by another application), then the data associated with the

open dialog may have to be disposed of.</p>
