So when the user switches to and from, but selects window2 on the way back, nothing works. The dialog could be one of mine, or the print dialog. DOes this sound like correct behaviour to anyone else? I expected the modality to be on the parent window, not all the children of the parent app, given that it isnt MDI Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 1 post ] -- Over 900 classes with 18000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in.
