Dragging objects from parent window to showModalDialog

Hi,

I need to write a webpage which does the following:
- open up a window and pass parameters into it (i.e. need to call
showModalDialog () or showModelessDia log())
- contains jscript to support drag and drop objects from itself to the
popup window
- wait for user response in popup window and return results back to
the parent window (i.e. calling showModalDialog () is preferred)

If I call showModalDialog (), the focus will go to the popup window,
i.e. I cannot drag from the parent window. If I call
showModelessDia log(), the focus will go to the parent window when I
drag an object from it but it doesn't switch to the popup window when
my cursor move to the popup window.

Is this even possible?

Thanks,
Eliza

Seems that you are already prepared to use ActiveX. So going to the
win32 APIs would be necessary. I am not sure that the COM interface
called IDropTarget is the way to go, but as you can surmise, you have to
get hold of win32 window representing the control you are trying to
drag, register it with the IDropTarget of the window where you are
dropping, and good luck.

I have a couple of utility windows - a calculator and a calendar that popup from my main window. I would like them to always stay in front of the parent window until they are shut down with there own close buttons. As it is, when you click back to the parent window, of course it comes in front of the child windows. Can I do this?

Is it possible to make the parent window refresh when a modal dialog is closed? I know I can use window.opener.location.reload(true); for a 'normal' window, but this doesn't work for showModalDialog. It is modal as far as the client is concerned but not the server... In my app I have a datagrid on the main aspx page, I pop up a modal dialog to edit a record. On closing the modal dialog I'd like to refresh the

In IE, I am using showModalDialog to pop up a modeless window, then the object "opener" is undefined. well, I pass the parent window object as an argument to pop up, then I can redirect the parent url. The problem is, when I redirect the parent url, the popup is closed automatically, I guess it's the normal behavior coz the popup is a modeless dialog.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
