modal-dialog

My application have several modules, each in one tab on the mainform. When using a dialog it is convenient to call ShowModal because you know when the dialog is finished. But for the user it is not good as it lock the whole program until the dialog closes. I want to have a locally modal dialog. So one module can open a dialog and it locks current module only. The user can still switch to another module and continue to work. If the user return to the first module the dialog is there waiting for close before the user can continue to work in that module. I have to make some kind of framework for

I have a problem with modality of the forms under C#.NET. Let's say I have main form #0 (see the image below). This form represents main application form, where user can perform various operations. However, from time to time, there is a need to open additional non-modal form to perform additional main application functionality supporting tasks. Let's say this is form #1 in the image. On this #1 form there might be opened few additional modal forms on top of each other (#2 form in the image), and at the end, there is a progress dialog showing a long operation progress and status, which might

Modal dialogs are evil, but I keep reading "You should remove modal dialogs when possible " When isn't it possible to remove modal dialogs? I mean, what are some truly modal tasks that force us to use evil modal dialogs? The most common given example is the "Do you want to Save?"

I am trying center a modal window in the browser page. I just want to center it, so that it should be responsive for all the screens.

I'm using the Fancybox plugin for my modal windows. It seems like no matter what options I use I can't prevent the fancybox modal window from closing when the user clicks outside of the fancybox modal window (grayed out area). Is there a way to force the user to click the X or a button that I trigger the close event? This seems like it should be simple so I'm hoping I'm just reading the examples wrong.
