Using raw win32 calls I have been able to display a modal dialog over a vizard window, so I know this is technically possible.

I am using the win32ui to create a standard "browse" for a file dialog box for my gui but the dialog box comes in under the Vizard window and everything is frozen waiting on the dialog box to finish. You mentioned you were able to display the modal over the vizard window, could you please tell me how you were able to do this?

Thank you.
