I'd try this:
 
1.  Create a new CabWindowWorkspaceSmartPartInfo.
 
2. Set Modal = true
 
3.  Show the view in the window workspace., passing the smart part info as the second parameter.
 
Is this what you tried?
 
I believe that Ward designed the WindowWorkspace to support both modal and non-modal windows, as well as a number of other parameters.
 
If it doesn't work, post a snippet of your code and we'll look at it.

Yup i also have seen that as an alternative but I was not able to make it work. can you teach me how? :D
 
I considered modifying the WindowWorkspace because all our dialog windows should be viewed as a modal dialog, wherein the user should not be able to click behind.

I'm curious why you needed to modify the WindowWorkspace class. 
 
Did you try setting the Modal flag in the CabWindowSmartPartInfo supplied to the WindowWorkspace before showing your view?

I already made it work at last. I need to modify the methods in the WindowWorkspace class in the library in order to view it as a modal dialog. thanks!]]> Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:42:28 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=453&PID=1385#1385 [SOLVED] Display a CAB UI modally : yup.

yup. Actually I have already implemented that.

Sure.
 
Out of the box, the Cabana Foundation module (in FoundationModule.cs)
creates two instances of WindowWorkspace:
 

/// <summary>Window workspace to be used for Editor windows under the aegis of the shell's form.</summary>

/// <remarks>

/// Added by IdeaBlade

/// </remarks>

private void AddWindowWorkspace() {

// Add window workspace to be used for modal windows

WindowWorkspace wsp = new WindowWorkspace(ShellForm);

RootWorkItem.Workspaces.Add(wsp, WorkspaceNames.ModalWindows);

// Use the following if editor forms may hide behind the shell.

WindowWorkspace editorWorkspace = new WindowWorkspace();

// Use the following if editor forms should always be on top of the shell.

// WindowWorkspace editorWorkspace = new WindowWorkspace(ShellForm);

RootWorkItem.Workspaces.Add(editorWorkspace, WorkspaceNames.EditorWorkspace);

}

Simply set one of these as the workspace for your view before showing it.

Yep, it does but you are still allowed to click and modify the parent shell form, even if i set the page as always on the top of the parent form. I am looking for a way that the CAB page will behave like the ordinary dialog window that the code ShowDialog() does in a form. Is it possible to implement it using Cabana or CAB workspaces?]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 18:10:00 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=453&PID=1365#1365 [SOLVED] Display a CAB UI modally : Look at the SharedEditor module... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=453&PID=1361#1361 Author: Bill Jensen

Look at the SharedEditor module of the Cabana application.  I think it does what you want to do.

Hello again,
 
I already implemented the way that the CAB UI page will be displayed with the use of the WindowWorkspace using the ff code:

WindowWorkspace wsp = new WindowWorkspace(ShellForm);

What happens is the CAB UI form displayed always on the top of the ShellForm, but can still manage to click and modify fields in the ShellForm.

Does this really the meaning of a "Modal" Window in CAB application? :) To what I expect is my CAB UI page should be displayed as dialog window and not be able to click behind it on other forms or on the main shell form. Help! hehe
 
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
 
Do you know how to display a CAB UI page (which is normally displayed in the content workspace) modally with its Shell as its parent?
 
Thanks!
