[Anygui-users] Modal Windows

[terry <tg...@ci...>]

Hello,

In the type of business applications I usually develop, I have 
need to open an application (not a standard dialog type) window 
which the user must deal with before continuing with the main 
window.  I'm used to dealing with this in VB/Access by simply 
stating that the second window is modal and the first window 
becomes 'dead' to the user.

I've been playing around with AnyGUI using threads and forking, 
but have not come across any mechanism to accomplish this other 
than to disable all of the controls on the first window.  I've 
also noticed that many of the X programs I use don't seem to 
implement this concept even when I think it might be a reasonable 
approach to control the application.

How should (will) I handle this using AnyGUI?

Thanks,

terry
