Hi, When I created modeless dialog box, it always stays on top of the frame which created it, it is hiding the original frame which created it, if I want to see the original frame, I have to move it manually. Is this the default property of modeless dialog? how to override this? Thanks for any reply.

Hi Luna,
Yes that is the default behavior. A dialog will never be hidden by its parent. That is the main idea behind a dialog. If you want to have popup containers can be swapped around (parent in front on child or vice versa) then you should be using frames instead.
Regards,
Manfred.
