Have you tried to do:

oDlg:SetFocus()

after ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg ?

Maybe your program execution is giving the focus to some other window, control, etc. as NONMODAL will not wait.

This my code:

Code: Select all Collapse
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "WAIT_DIALOG" OF oWnd

       oDlg:lHelpIcon := .F.
       oDlg:cargo     := .F.

       REDEFINE SAY oSay ID 101 OF oDlg FONT oFontBoldGrande

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg VALID .F. NOWAIT CENTERED

oSay:setText( "Waiting..." )
oSay:refresh()

oDlg:setFocus()


But, Him set the focus to the window behind my application and, after my execution (is a DO WHILE command), the focus is restored to my application.
Peace and lighting!

JĂșlio,

Please test this example and check where the focus is placed:

test.prg
Code: Select all Collapse
#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "A window"

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ;
      ON INIT BuildNonModal()

return nil

function BuildNonModal()

   local oDlg
   
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg TITLE "A non modal dialog"
   
   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg NOWAIT CENTERED
   
return nil
regards, saludos

Please, execute the example with a window behind the .exe

Like a MS-DOS window!!

Our example runs the same if there is an open window in the background.

We wait for your example, thanks

I have already sent to you Antonio. But, take the link to download:
http://rapidshare.com/files/138461123/nonmodal.zip.html

I think I explained to you that the wrong way, sorry... The main window is that it loses the focus when the dialog is closed!
When the dialog nonmodal is ended, the focus goes to any other different window of main window, like a MS-DOS window behind the .EXE

Please do my example with a another window behind the .EXE like the MS-DOS window!

With my application, the effect appears like a blink!
Peace and lighting!

Julio,

I can't figure out what you are trying to do. I looked at your code and you are creating a non-modal dialog and then trying to make it act like a modal dialog by disabling the main window. What is the point? Why not use a modal dialog. A modal dialog automatically disables the main window until it is closed. If you do this then you don't have a problem.

James, is it! But, I need to execute a code out of the modal dialog and I think it is the unique way to do! Then, I have disabled the window for execute the code.

The main window opens the dialog non-modal and the non-modal dialog disable the main window. The main window execute a code and close the dialog. Something like this!

Exists another way to do it?
Peace and lighting!

Julio,

Just execute your code from a modal dialog. The main window will remain disabled until the dialog is closed.

Ok James, but the code will be execute by the main window, not by the non-modal dialog :-)
For this, a modal dialog will not permit the execution... right?

Here is a working example:

Code: Select all Collapse
#include "fivewin.ch"

function main()
   local oWnd
   define window oWnd
   activate window oWnd on init doit()
return nil

function doit()
   local oDlg, oBtn
   define dialog oDlg
   @ 1,1 button oBtn action msgInfo("Test process called from modal dialog")
   activate dialog oDlg
return nil
