And even when it works, it's a bad idea. Much experience by thousands of


GUI designers and millions of users indicates that having more than one


modal dialog at once *sucks* as a design. Seriously. Try to do what


you're seeking to do in a different way; your GUI will be much better


for it. This applies 100-fold if the grabs are global...
