I'll try that

I probably used the wrong terminology. What I really meant was that in the
current situation, only the last created dialog box has it's widgets
usable. All the other dialog boxes are greyed out, I mean even if click the
mouse on the dialog, it's widgets are still not useable. I think sdi/mdi is
the correct terminology for what I want, but I'm not sure I understand what
they actually mean. 
Or, probably, what I mean is that the newly created dialog is a child of
the orignal one (now the parent), and the parent is not accessible till the
child has been closed. How do I make it possible for both the child and
parent to be accessible at the same time?
