Well I don't think I'd use DS_MODALFRAME, but that has nothing to do with
your problem.
It is most likely the way you are starting the second dialog. If you use
execute(), the method will not return until the second dialog ends, and
your first dialog can not continue until execute() returns.
You need to use popup() to start the second dialog. The popup() method
returns immediately and your first dialog can continue working.
I'm pretty sure that is what you are missing. But, if you are already
using popup(), then I would need to see some code to say why the first
dialog doesn't continue.
