Dialog box but not a dialog box

Is there a way to make the WindowManager NOT activate other windows
when a user does a mouseDown ? 

What I need to do is make a window defined as a documentProc act as a 
dialog box BUT I CANNOT call ModalDialog because of the way that the 
program is written (I did not write the original code, I'm just porting).

The Technotes say I can define it as a dBoxProc window and that will/does 
work, but I need a documentProc window. I know if I call ModalDialog
it works, but no can do.... How does MD do it? Can a UserProgram do it?

Thanks
