when calling the new dialog(2) make 1 NOT disabled until 2 has the focus.
On wm_close(when the 2nd dialog get's unloaded) enable 1, do nothing but unload 2 now.

You can also provide the handle from 1 in the dialog new from 2.
And show 2 modal.

I'm running an app from the PB IDE while the IDE is maximized.

My app gets to a point where there is one dialog active which is
also maximized. When selecting a button from that dialog, I would
like to create another dialog (not maximized) which allows the user
to edit some data. Both dialogs are MODELESS.

My goals:

1) Have main app dialog DISABLED, but visible underneath second dialog.

2) When second dialog terminates, have main dialog ENABLED again.

Currently, I'm using DIALOG DISABLE & DIALOG ENABLE on the main dialog
and it works as far as disabling/enabling. The problem is that when
the main dialog is ENABLED, it is also sent to the back of desktop.
Ie.: The PB IDE gains the focus of the desktop.

I have tried using:

SetForegroundWindow hDlg&

and

BringWindowToTop hDlg&

and they work, but they create a noticable screen redraw. Is there any
way to achieve my goal without having to have the screen flicker?
