Well, I ended up solving my own problem, but I'm pretty sure there's
a bug here, as Rev is not behaving as the docs say it should in this
case. I'm pretty sure, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong,
that the docs say that using open stack blahblah as sheet will open
the stack as a modal window when running under OS's that don't
support sheets. But for some reason it's not working correctly. When
I changed the command to open stack blahblah as modal, and then
opened the answer dialog, it appeared over the modal window
correctly. Using sheet with the open stack command is doing something
different. I mean, the dialog appears as modal and works as modal,
but when you try to open another modal over it, like the answer
dialog, no dice.
Not a huge issue since there's a workaround, but I think I'll report
this to Runtime. Either the behavior should reflect the docs, or the
docs should reflect the behavior. :-)
Thanks,
Chris

I'm having a strange problem. Seems to be happening only under
Windows (tested on Windows XP, server 2003). I'm not sure if it's
something I've done wrong or if I've found a bug in Rev. Maybe
someone can help. Running Rev 2.7.4.
I have an application that at one point opens a modal dialog for
the user to change some settings. When the user clicks the save
button, a verification routine runs to make sure all necessary
settings are correct. If there's a problem, I simply bring up the
answer dialog to inform the user so they can fix it. But there
seems to be a problem opening a modal window (answer dialog) over
another modal window. The answer dialog opens behind the already
open modal window instead of in front of it. And there's no way to
switch to it. I even tried using Task Manager to switch to the
answer dialog, but that didn't do anything. So the application
looks as though it's hanging, when really it's just waiting for
user input. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround
for it?
Everything works fine on the Mac. Of course, on the Mac I'm opening
my settings dialog as a sheet rather than as a regular modal window.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris
