modeless dialog box in master/content form

Is there a trick so I can use a modeless dialog box in a master/content
webform?

I can display the modeless dialog, but it vanishes when a new content page
is loaded. I need it to stay visible while the content pages are
navigated.;

I was able to do this using framesets by putting the javascript which
displays the dialog in the frameset but this doesn't work with a master
page, since it is reloaded when the content page is changed.

Thanks
Bill

the only way to keep a handle to the dialog box is create it in a page
that does not refresh (security), so a frameset is still the correct
solution. you can still master pages in the frameset.

I have a windows app whose main dialog contains a button that launches a form. I've tried using Form.Show() to have it launch as a modeless form, but it behaves as if it's modal (i.e. parent form can't receive focus)... Can someone tell me what I need to do to make the child form modeless..??? I want to be able to alternate focus between both dialogs... thanks,

I'm currently writing a small program that churns on a repetitive task while displaying a progress & cancel modeless dialog. I've been having problems due to threadlocking, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. Basically when I create the modeless dialog, I'm assuming that C# under the covers will be implicitly creating a new thread for the modeless dialog's message pump. Thus I protect the state determiners with a...

I get a Null Reference Exception if I close a modeless form (that is, a form displayed using Show()) when a selection is made from a ComboxBox. If the form is modal (displayed using ShowDialog()) or the selection is made from, say, a ListBox, no exception is thrown. I have included a simple example below. The error message refers to Unsafe Native Methods, but the code is 100% managed. What is going on ? I am using C#.NET 2003, Standard...

Hello Can a modeless form be used as the "owner" of a modal form? Here's the situation, from my MainForm, I have created a modeless form using "Show" - and showed a modal form using "ShowDialog". For some reason, if I do any user action on my modal form, it falls behind the MainForm. Any clues?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
