How to ensure modal dialog to appear in front?

Question

We have an issue with modal dialogs in connection with InDesign/InCopy-CEP. Sometimes, very infrequently, a modal dialog will appear behind a CEP panel. The user can dismiss is by hitting esc (or Return) but of course he should be able to read the message. This does only happen on Windows OS.

We are calling the dialog from jsx as CEP does not allow pass parameters to other CEP windows. To put the message within the CEP panel is not a practical solution, because we have very narrow control-strip-like panels.

Any idea how to solve this?

CEP panels can totally exchange data thanks to CSEvents.

Emitter:

var event = new CSEvent("cep.sender.event.message", "APPLICATION");

event.data = "HELLO";

csInterface.dispatchEvent ( event );

Receiver

csInterface.addEventListener ( "cep.sender.event.message" , function (event) {

alert(event.data);

})

And if you need to communicate through apps, you have VULCAN.

Apart from that I have no clue for your modal dialog issue, sorry.
