Converting message box from modal to non-modal

[BG103]

I have created a Dialog box that works well transferring variables but have now come across the need to keep this dialog open while exploring the VIEW and REPORT panels.  I understand non-modal dialog boxes allow for this and would like to convert or rebuild my current dialog  box to non-modal. Is this possible?

If I have to create a new non-modal dialog box, how is this done?  I have tried several examples that suggest using the SUDDlgCreate instead of SUDDlgShow but with no success.  It doesn't appear clear where the disticntion between modal and non-modal is made.

Thanks,

Ben

Nevermind,  I figured it out!

The reason I was not having success with SUDDlgCreate was because while trying to run it, I had the original dialog open.  this was causing an error saying the dialog was already created.

Hi All,

Another thing to look out for is that the modal SUDialog can pass a VBScript variable as a 3rd paramater between the calling VBScript and the called SUDialog.  The Non-modal SUDialog can NOT pass a VBScript variable in this way.

Otherwise there are no changes necessary in the SUDialog ittself, just the function used to call it as modal or non-modal.
