Dear Friends,

I create a modal Dialog in CS6 Plugin by using DialogBox() function of Windows.

At the time of dialog is shown,Illustrator CS6 allows to select an item from other windows (Menubar,Toolbox or other Panels).

Please give your suggestion to solve this problem.

Note:Parent window for my dialog is the window retrieved by using GetPlatformAppWindow() function.

Thankyou friends

Regards,

Nathan.

If you have a full version of Visual Studio, use the Spy tool to see which window is being returned by GetPlatformAppWindow. You probably need to use one of its parent windows. If you don't have the Spy tool, you could just use trial and error by calling GetParent on the returned window.

Dear LeoTaro,

Thank you for the Suggestion,but still it does not working.

If a document is opened the GetPlatformAppWindow() function returns the current document as Parent window otherwise it returns Adobe Illustrator CS6 as parent window.

In the case of a document is opened, I try to GetParent() of the window returned by GetPlatformAppWindow () then GetParent returns NULL.

Note: The problem is CS6 allows to select a Panel Item when a Modal Dialog is Shown.

Please give your suggestion to solve this problem.

Thank you Friend.

Try the MessageBox function with GetPlatformAppWindow() as the parent. If that works, then there is something wrong with your dialog code. If that doesn't work either then you may be stuck.
