"Non-blocking" dialogs

[David Toll]

I have, in my main window, a table; when I click on a cell, it displays a dialog.  In the dialog there is a table - when I click on a cell it displays another dialog, ......

When a dialog is open, access to previous level dialogs (or the main window) is "blocked" until all "child" dialogs are closed in the reverse order to which they were opened.

Is there any way to have them be "non-blocking" - i.e. so you could say return to the main window (or to a dialog part way down the chain) and click on another table cell?

        Thanks
                Dave

You should be able to call show() on the dialog box instead of execute() to make it non-modal.
