I am using MPW, and want to be able to display many modaless dialogs at one time. I want to be able to switch windows by just clicking in them, making them the active (if not already) dialog window. Are these windows just like any other WindowPtrs, or do they act differently?? What I thought that I could do is to track mouse down events, and use FindWindow to get the window that the mouse was clicked in and then call SelectWindow to change windows . This has worked fine in the past using regular document windows, but when I try to use it on modeless dialogs, I have problems. I have read through Inside Macintosh, but somehow just can't find the answer. Is there some way to do this. Brad Soe internet : soe@ames.arc.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Ctr.
