How do I select a dialog that is in a frame and edit it's components?

TIA

Hi zsleo,

How do I select a dialog that is in a frame and edit it's components?

Please explain better your question.

Best Regards.

When I have a modal dialog on a frame and it is visible and it is forced to top, when I click on the dialog or a component on dialog then the component on the frame is selected and not the dialog or the component on the dialog.

Hope that explains my problem better.

Hi zsleo,

You can use the CGDesigner.ShowInDesign property, which will affect the desing time only.

Best Regards.

Alexander,

I know that. If I set it to false then the dialog is not visible at design time. If I set it to true then the dialog is visible at design time.

My problem is that when I set it to true then I cannot select the dialog or any of the components on the dialog. When mouse over the dialog or any of its components and click then a component on the frame is selected.

Hi zsleo,

Do you have AutoOpen = False?

Best Regards.

Yes

Hi zsleo,

We've already fixed that issue in 4.0.0.5...

Alternatively, if you can't or don't want to update, set the AutoOpen = True for develop.

Best Regards

Alexander,

I updated to 4.0.0.5 and there is some improvement.

1. Dialog
- Can now select components on the dialog but can't select the dialog itself.
- Click on dialog still selects the component under the dialog

2. DialogEx
- Can now select components on the dialog but can't select the dialog itself.
- Click on dialog still selects the component under the dialog
- Title Bar and buttons are not displayed

Regards
