When the ShowTagsInputDialog property is set to True, the Tags dialog box is shown just before the document is generated. You can programmatically show that dialog whenever you want (and independently of the value of the ShowTagsInputDialog property) by calling the EditTags method.
For example, the following code shows the tags input dialog box when a button is clicked:

In the example above, the Tags dialog box will appear when the EditTagsNow button is clicked.
