Use this model that Ed described before. Add you controls to the
dialog in the class.
class MyModalDialogClass(dabo.ui.dDialog):
def addControls(self):
... <add stuff>
Then, anytime a form wants to call the dialog, use syntax like the one
below. It's just like instantiating a regular python object.........
Call dlg.show() to display the dialog and get the modal property.
dlg = MyModalDialogClass()
dlg.show()
...etc.
