    Is there a way that I can create a modeless dialog that stays inside of it's parent frame? I'm trying to create a dialog which keeps the parent active (not modal) and stays within a parent frame (like an MDI child). -Mark Lenz

      There are a bunch of demos under Dialogs in this web site.. Is this what you're trying to do? http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/stackdialog.asp Rob

        No, I don't mean a dialog inside a dialog. I want to be able to have a dialog (or window) which stays within the boundaries of it's parent (the main frame window) but doesn't prevent the user from access controls on the parent. Imagine an MDI application with it's child frames inside of it. They can't leave the boundary of the parent frame, but you can access controls on the main frame and the other child windows. You can resize the child windows and move them around. Can I create a dialog that has the same behavior? -Mark Lenz
