Designer Popup Editor Issue

Question

Hello,

In a custom toolset I have installed for Visual Studio, there is a popup window that should appear to me so that I can manipulate one of the lists (an in-built editor). The component is Telerik, but I don't think that has anything to do with it (maybe).

The popup window is no longer popping up to me. I wonder if it got minimized or it's a z-index thing, where the window is behind VS? But this locks up VS, and I can't do anything within it until I cancel the window. But I can't cancel the window because I can't see it... and so that is really slowing me down and is really frustrating.

Is there a way to get around this? A key press to bring this to the front or give it the focus?

Thanks.

This might be a z-index issue indeed. Try using FireBug or IE dev toolbar to get a hold on the popup and its container and check their styles and z-indices.

You should be able to cancel it with ESC. You can also test if you can find the window with CTRL-TAB. If this not help then an uninstall, boot and reinstall seems the only possible solution.
