Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone has found a solution to the problem of
calling non-modal sub-widgets from modal widgets in IDL5.3. I have read
the (very informative) page on Dave Fannings' web site which includes a
posting from Bill Thompson on the subject but the solutions suggested
seem to require a lot of re-writing. Does anyone know if RSI has fixed
this problem yet?
thanks,

For a while we were able to get around the problem by using a hacked version of
xmanager.pro suggested to us by RSI support. However, this solution broke with
IDL/v5.3. We ended up having to bite the bullet and rewrite the software to
avoid using /MODAL. Pity, especially since the changes involved coordination
between programmers on two sides of the Atlantic.

Oh, don't even get us started. :-(
