Using the Apple OS X Cocoa framework, how can I post a sheet (slide-down modal dialog) on the window of another process? Edit: Clarified a bit: My application is a Finder extension to do Subversion version control (http://scplugin.tigris.org/). Part of my application is a plug-in (a Contextual Menu Item for Finder); the bulk of my app...
I have to write an applet that brings up a password dialog. The problem is that dialog is set to be always on top but when user clicks on IE window dialog gets hidden behind IE window nevertheless. And since dialog is modal and holds all IE threads IE pane does not refresh and dialog window is still painted on top of IE (but not refreshe...
I need to open a popup Window to a cross domain content. I should not allow the user either to access or close the parent window, till i am done with Child window. The main issue with Modal window is that stops any asynchrnous process running on the main window. For example, timers and auto refresh wont be working in the parent window....
I am creating a "department picker" form that is going to serve as a modal popup form with many of my "primary" forms of a Winforms application. Ideally the user is going to click on an icon next to a text box that will pop up the form, they will select the department they need, and when they click OK, the dialog will close and I will ha...
By and large, modal interfaces suck big rocks. On the other hand, I can't think of a better way to handle File Open..., or Print... and this, I think, is because they are occasional actions, infrequent and momentous, and they are atomic in nature; you either finish specifying all your print options and go through with it, or you cance...
I'm using a lot of JQuery in a web application that I am building for a client and I want to find an javascript implementation of a modal dialog that is reasonably stable across the following browser set. IE 7+ FF 2+ Chrome and Safari I've tried a couple of jQuery plugins but there always seems to be artifacts in one of these browsers....
I want to write something that acts just like confirm() in javascript, but I want to write it myself so I can skin the dialog box. In having trouble thinking through how I would basically force the javascript thread to wait until the user responds and then return true or false. ...
I often need to design a dialog in Delphi/C++Builder that allows various properties of an object to be modified, and the code to use it typically looks like this. Dialog.Edit1.Text := MyObject.Username; Dialog.Edit2.Text := MyObject.Password; // ... many more of the same if (Dialog.ShowModal = mrOk) begin MyObject.Username := Dialog...
Are modal windows/dialogs considered a good practice for websites? One of the things that concerns me about using a modal window is that it is so much like a pop-up window and it could cause user frustration or cause users to simply close it because it's intrusive. Do you know of any studies that talk about user preferences and use rate...
I have been looking at jQUery thickbox for showing modal dialogs with images, it is great. But now I have the need to display a hidden div of content that contains an iFrame in a similar fashion, with a link to open the content. So I'd have something like this. <a href="">Open window in Modal Dialog</a> <div id="myContent"> <h1>L...
I would like to create a javascript modal pop up window to get some values from a user in a ASP.Net 2.0 webpage. The basic idea is this. When a user clicks a button, a modal window will come up and ask 3 or 4 questions. The asp.net page will not be able to be changed while this window is up. Once the questions have been answered I need ...
I am looking for a way to display a modal window in WPF the same way as a window in Cocoa can be displayed as a sheet, i.e. it slides down from the titlebar in front of the main parent window. My guess is that this would be accomplished by having the modal window as a user control which is loaded into a panel when displayed, and that th...

Hi. I'm kinda stuck with this one so I hoped someone could help me. I am doing a Winforms application and I need to show a Modal Dialog (form.ShowDialog) that returns a value (prompts the User some values and wraps them in a Object). I just can't see how to do this rather than give a reference into the object or depending on some form...
I'm adding C# WPF dialogs to an existing C++ MFC app, using a C++/CLI interface layer. I've got things working, except I'm having a problem with modality. For example: MFC app shows a WPF dialog using ShowDialog. Works as expected. That WPF dialog shows a MFC dialog using DoModal. The WPF dialog is hidden behind the base C++ app, and i...
I've got a timer running in my Delphi MDI application and I'd like to use it to pop up a message if something changes in the background. But I don't want that message to pop up when the the application has a modal dialog in the foreground because the user couldn't do anything about it. So what I'd like to know is how can I check for th...
Modern browsers have multi-tab interface, but JavaScript function window.showModalDialog() creates a modal dialog that blocks all of the tabs. I'd like to know if there is a way to create a modal dialog that blocks only the tab it's been created in? ...

I would like to be able to show a non-modal form in an already existing application. At the moment I can do something like: myform.ShowDialog(handleToApp); but that will create a modal form parented to the application and what I'm really looking for something that isn't modal so when the form loses focus it won't break the flow of co...
