Windowing Interface Terminology Modal Execution |
Modal ExecutionA window is said to be executed modally when that window must be closed or completed by the end user before other windows are allowed to receive any user input. This is most often used for executing a Modal Dialog, which is a dialog window that must be closed before any other open windows can receive user input such as a mouse click. In RTPEG-32, any window can be executed modally. In fact, there can be several modal windows operating at one time in certain multitasking environments. Modal windows capture all input devices, preventing other windows and controls from being active while the modal window is executing. Windowing Interface Terminology
