I'm not sure what you mean. getApp() is an inherited instance method for 
FXDialogBox. As we've discussed before, the way it's listed in the 
documentation is as an attr_reader called "app", although you can use it 
either way, i.e.

     getApp().modal?(...)

or

     app.modal?(...)

The getApp() method is inherited from FXId, way up there in the class 
hierarchy.

And modal? is just an instance method for FXApp.
