(using NT, SDK, C7.0)
is it possible to make a CommonDialog box modeless ?
or is it completely against CUA guidelines?
i tried giving the Dialog no owner (ofn.hwndOwner = NULL)
which creates a seemingly modeless dialog:  the main(owner) window can
be activated, but the dialog is still waiting for input, and thus nothing
can be done until the DIalog is finished.
thanks!
