      "Best" meaning "New and improved"? Or the "Best" because it has a 30 day money back guarantee?

        (-: "Best" as the most "lean and mean". No body guarentees anythings nowadays. Sheer advise, my friend. Sheer advise.

          "Lean and mean" code as in development/maintenance overhead or runtime performance? Never mind I have lost interest now since it has taken you at a minimum three posts to explain your request.

                  Really you consider your original post to be "specific"? In that case you might want to consider this[^].

                      modal like a modal dialog? If so, that means the user must dismiss the window before (s)he can do anything else. To do that, 1) disable other windows 2) create the window 3) run a message loop until the modal window is closed/dismissed 4) enable other windows 5) destroy the modal window Mark

                          I would swap (4) with (5), but maybe I'm wrong.

                            Either way...whichever way is most pleasing to the user. All the repaints resulting in the destruction and re-enabling will determine that I suppose :) Mark

                              Thank you so much Mark. You're answer is prudent and accurate. I must say that I have begun to doubt my coherency during this thread. There's an obvious correlation between one's willingness to help and his understanding of the question.
