Mode less dcl dialog

[giskumar]

Hi all

 

I am new to DCL. I would like to make modeless dcl dialog. Is there any option to make dcl dialog mode less?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Kumar.

I have not heard about modeless with dcl.

 

Could you explain it a little bit more ?

Thanks Kerry.

 

These links are really very helpful, and this is the first time that I see the procedure of Open DCL.

I would read that and rise up any question that may come up.

 

Highly appreciated.

Probably best to ask questions at the OpenDCL forum or at theSwamp ... I don't think many here use OpenDCL.

 

Be sure to look at and run the samples.

 

The current version is stable, so you can use that, ie 6.0.1.1

Just to clarify for you: a modeless dialog is one that may remain on screen when focus is shifted to other items (an example would be the properties tool palette behaviour), hence a dialog that does not require the user to close it before interacting with anything else. The opposite is a modal dialog which doesn't allow the user to switch focus until it is closed.

 

With standard DCL, only a modal dialog can be created.

Thank you so much Lee.

 

Your explanations are greatly appreciated.

 

I would read the reference and do the examples that given by Kerry, and certainly that would be a matter of

coming up questions to the forum very soon.

 

Thanks again for your time.
