Posts: 313                I have a modal window which pops up where a user 
needs to enter a date into a text field to continue a process. I now want to 
show a calendar to allow the user more flexibility when entering the date, so I 
created a floating window with a calendar control and set it to show when the 
date field gets focus and close when the field loses focus. 

This works elsewhere in the application, but since the first window in this 
case is a modal window, the controls in the floating window do not seem to 
respond to user input. The button's appearance changes when the mouse rolls 
over them, but none of the controls are accessible (comboboxes can't be 
accessed, buttons can't be clicked). The mouseEnter event does fire for the 
controls in the floating window (and if I put 'Me.SetFocus' in the MouseEnter 
event, it shows the focusRing), but the controls won't respond to user input.

Is there a way for the floating window to be accessible when called from a 
modal window?
