moved this to dabo-dev. I added this to the tracker so that this doesn't get forgotten.

Your desire to use a dialog is correct, because that is the only way to get true form modality, but Dabo doesn't provide a dialog that has all the built-in data-aware capabilities that dForm has. I don't have an immediate suggestion for you, but it has been on my mind to provide a Modal property to dForm that must be set before instantiation (like MDIForm), and automatically make a modal dialog instead of a modeless frame but still retain all the data-aware features of a full dForm. This issue has come up a few times in various contexts over the past few years, but the lack of ability to get true modality is IMO pretty limiting and we should address this definitely before 1.0. Any discussion regarding that last paragraph should be moved to dabo-dev to avoid polluting dabo-users. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
