As I understand it, there are 4 kinds of dialogs: (a) an alert, (b) a "real" modal dialog, i.e. a modal dialog that is too complex for the _Alert trap, and is _really_ modal, (c) a "movable" modal dialog, i.e. a dialog that is modal with respect to the application, but modeless with respect to the rest of the world, (d) a modeless dialog. Only in case (b) one should use _ModalDialog (again, as I understand it). Now, my question is: Does case (b) ever occur in practice? When one uses a dialog of type (b), is it not _always_ bad interface design? If so, then what is the use of the _ModalDialog trap? -- Freek "the Pistol Major" Wiedijk Path: uunet!fwi.uva.nl!freek #P:+/ = #+/P?*+/ = i<<*+/P?*+/ = +/i<<**P?*+/ = +/(i<<*P?)*+/ = +/+/(i<<*P?)**
