Thinking about this for an About dialog but I'm sure it's applicable in other places (say a find box) Sorry if this is a dupe, but I couldn't find this or how to articulate the last part about it only being on top of the parent. How do you make a form that is always on top of the parent form, but is non-modal, but doesn't cover up oth...
In Delphi (2009 Pro) - I have a main form that can create non-modal child windows. I want whichever form has the focus to draw on top - even if it is the main window that has the focus. ...
I use the standard Cut, Copy, Paste actions on my Main Menu. They have the shortcuts Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. When I open a modal form, e.g. FindFilesForm.ShowModal, then all the shortcuts work from the form. But when I open a non-modal form, e.g. FindFilesForm.Show, then the shortcuts do not work. I would think that those actions s...
In a WPF application I would like to implement the following behaviour which doesn't seem to work straightforward: From the main window (Window1) the user opens a non-modal window (Window2), and that non-modal window may display a modal dialog (Window3). The problem is that whenever the modal dialog has been shown, the main window disa...
I have an app that opens a non-modal form from the main form. The non-modal form has a TMemo on it. The main form menu uses "space" as one of its accelerator characters. When the non-modal form is open and the memo has focus, every time I try to enter a space into the memo on the non-modal form, the main form event for the "space" sho...
The answer could be subjective. The answer could be intuition. And I guess the answer could be found from the traditional modal versus non-modal debates. But in general how do you generally decide which one to go for? What are their use cases? Thanks. ...
I have a problem with modality of the forms under C#.NET. Let's say I have main form #0 (see the image below). This form represents main application form, where user can perform various operations. However, from time to time, there is a need to open additional non-modal form to perform additional main application functionality supporting...
I want to create a WPF window that behaves as a modal dialogue box while at the same time facilitating selected operations on certain other windows of the same application. An example of this behaviour can be seen in Adobe Photoshop, which offers several dialogues that allow the user to use an eyedropper tool to make selections from an ...
At the beginning of a section of C# code that could take several seconds to complete, I'd like to display a non modal form with a label that just says, "Please wait..." WaitForm myWaitForm = null; try { // if conditions suggest process will take awhile myWaitForm = new WaitForm(); myWaitForm.Show(); // do stuff } finally { ...
I have an app built from the UITabBarController starter project. The first tab is part of the main.xib that contains the tab bar. I would like to slide a view up from the bottom on top of that tab's view that only covers part of the screen. My understanding is that you can only cover part of the screen if you make the top view non-mod...
Hi all, Is it possible to close a modal window from it's parent? It is a little hard even to try to do this. Basically, I am opening a non-modal window. From that non-modal window the user might some times open a modal window. Now suppose I close the non-modal window... I would like the modal subwindow to close also. How can this b...
Hi, I have a JFrame and when the user presses a button is displayed an input jdialog. I need the jdialog to be in non-modal mode and once the user presses ok, I want to do some action based on the input. Right now I pass my view as reference in the jdialog, so that when the user presses ok, the jdialog calls a method of the view. Is th...
