the problem is that from a modal
dialog box , the user _can't_ get back to the main window's caption bar
to minimize or mazimize it , as might be possible with a modeless dialog
box . QVT has a " minimize " button in it's up/download and dialer
dialogs , to allow the user to minimize it in th middle of an operation
, which otherwise would be impossible since it's a modal dialog box . it
does not , however , have a maximise option . once it's down , it stays
down until the operation is complete . the interesting thing is that
when the main window is minimized , double - clicking the icon will hide
and unhide the dialog box .
