This is probably a modal v.s. non-modal issue. I want to find out the right way to do it...

I have a window that I display that has a table view. The user needs to select a row off the table.

The problem is that the window is displayed and then the program just keeps on going and does not wait for anything to return.

That's by design. You don't want your program to stop responding to events. If it does, you'll get a "technicolor pizza" cursor after a few seconds.

I am opening it as a modal dialog box. What I am trying to do is get it to act like "OpenPanel" or the alert dialog. Those return to the calling process when they are done and not before.


I have tried waiting in a loop until a message comes back, but that gives me the technicolor pizza.
