WINDEV Concepts

Part 1: Main concepts 15 Modal, non-modal or MDI windows The applications created with WINDEV can use several types of windows (and mix each one of these types). Modal windows A modal window is opened in the foreground of the application and it locks the access to the other windows that are already opened (if any). In most cases, modal windows are used as: • main windows of an application, • dialog boxes whose validation triggers an action. With WINDEV, when a modal window is opened, a gray shadow appears on the windows displayed in the background: it is the DDW feature or Dim Disabled Windows.
