IDE Modal Dialog (where is it)

I am so sick of this poor IDE. (VS2003). Latest screwup - add new C#
project. Should not be a big deal right? Ok delete the generated class.
No problem so far.

Add new class. Shows in editor but IDE is now stuck. Can't close because
there is a "modal" dialog active. Of course it would be nice if I could see
this dialog (and I have made the IDE about 1 inch square, so it is not
hiding behind).

At this point all I can do is CTL-ALT-DEL and kill it. Open it again and we
are back to the same old same old.

Please , please , please MS listen to all the complaints. VS2003 is a poor
development environment with all the problem that exist at present. If MS
gives a hoot about its customers (developers) then perhaps some of the
problems that are written about every day in these newsgroups could be
fixed.

As a "solution" I have McAfee virus checker. It has a script stopper and
disabling this gets past the problem. While I can now go back to work,
isn't it a bug when an application (in this case VS2003) says it is waiting
on a dialog that the user cannot see or respond to.

Can't see how, McAfee are the one that screw up, the halted VS.Net, and
they won't show you the dialog to confirm the script.
How is VS responsible?

I was working happily on a project in VS the other day when some guy came up and kicked my computer. Wouldn't you know, Visual Studio stopped responding! Microsoft, when will you wake up and fix this nagging problem

This proves that Microsoft doesn't care about devlopers

The McAfee dialog was answered. It is VS that says it has a modal dialog
that no one can see. Please people if we don't complain and just say its ok
then nothing will ever happen.

Do you know, I am getting a bit pi$$ed off about the fact that I can spend 2
hours changing code and then unplug my computer and the damned IDE has not
saved a damned thing.

Everybody knows that software needs to be more intuitive - with all of the
M$ millions, you would think they could develop some telepathy code that
anticipates the next stupid thing a user is going to do instead of just
letting the user suffer because of their own incompetence.

I have an asp.net application where some of the interaction with the user is through modal dialog windows. This works very well except for the annoying fact that the dialog window always returns to its initial position when the user posts back (by clicking a button, etc.) I have all of the fundamentals for asp.net modal dialogs in place, such as using <base target="_self"> in the header...

Hi, I'm opening an ASP.NET page using the JavaScript window.showModalDialog method. This page has a submission button on it which, when clicked, opens a new window, which is pretty much as expected.

Fair enough - that's not difficult. However, I'm...

I am using Andy Smiths Dialog windows, which work really well. My only problem is I am trying to make the Dialogs Modal. Someone mentioned putting <base target="_self"> into the head section of the modal window to make it work. I tried putting it both pages just to see if it would work and it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to make these modal?

I have got a problem while using the modal dialogs. In my code I need to open a modal dialog from the parent page and I need to enter some values in the dialog and save it. It takes the values properly and also does the validation of the values but it doesn't hit the event handler of the button where it is supposed to save those values and close the box. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I am working in VB.NET, Framework v.1.0. I have tons of forms in my application. I have a situation, where a form starts another form as a Modal Dialog.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
