Starting up a .w from a modal .NET window changes it to mode

Posted by jquerijero on 19-Oct-2009 10:17

- Start up a .NET window using WAIT-FOR o:ShowDialog(THIS-OBJECT).

- Inside the above window start up a persistent .w.

- You will notice that 'o' is now modeless.

Do you know of any workaround to this?

NOTE: It's allowed in the .NET Framework for a dialog box to have child windows that are modeless.

I tested this in the next version (10.2B) and the dialog remains modal. I also tested it in 10.2A and I see the behavior you describe. I suggest you contact Support and ask if they know how to workaround the problem and also make sure that we are aware of it. It might in theory have been fixed unintentionally...
