... we can query this window by "oWndMain := WndMain()". Activation of the main window is always MODAL. Activation of ALL other windows are NONMODAL invariably. Dialogs: All dialogs are activated as MODAL by default, except when we activate with NOMODAL clause. MODAL ACTIVATION    ACTIVATE ...

... the late response. MODAL preview opens a separate window and does not interfere with the MDI window system. This problem is only in the case of NONMODAL previews. This issue is addressed in FWH2007 to be released. You may adopt the same fix in your "rpreview.prg". Please locate the ...

We do not think the problem is with mdi-dialog or nonmodal dialogs. The problem should be due to reasons external to this. We made this test program using mdi dialogs. We used a table "statesuni" in FWH Demo Server, so that you can test ...

As a temporary workaround, if you create the GETs this way, then unicode works fine on NONMODAL dialogs:

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED NOMODAL ;
ON INIT CreateGets( oDlg )

Enrico, In Windows.ch you will see: <oWnd>:bInit [ := \{ | Self | <uInit> \} ],; But in Dialog.ch INIT is processed like this: [ ! <.NonModal.> ], [{|Self|<uInit>}],; I understand that dialogs can be nonmodal and windows can't so there has to be a difference, but perhaps ...

... have a transparent frame. Dialogs will have the transparent frame but I do not want a Dialog nowait because if the user minimizes the MDI .. the nonmodal dialog will still be visable .. I do realize this may be an OS restriction .. but it sure would be nice to see a transparent frame on a Mdi ...
