## Class DialogTypeSelection

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.print.attribute.EnumSyntax
  - - javax.print.attribute.standard.DialogTypeSelection

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Cloneable`, `Attribute`, `PrintRequestAttribute`

      public final class DialogTypeSelection
      extends EnumSyntax
      implements PrintRequestAttribute

  Class `DialogTypeSelection` is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that indicates the user dialog type to be used for specifying printing options. If `NATIVE` is specified, then where available, a native platform dialog is displayed. If `COMMON` is specified, a cross-platform print dialog is displayed.

  This option to specify a native dialog for use with an IPP attribute set provides a standard way to reflect back of the setting and option changes made by a user to the calling application, and integrates the native dialog into the Java printing APIs. But note that some options and settings in a native dialog may not necessarily map to IPP attributes as they may be non-standard platform, or even printer specific options.

  IPP Compatibility: This is not an IPP attribute.
