That is exactly what I want to say. With your method of calling the
CmdWindow, you assume, that the dialog is still active. What I need is a
method where the CmdWindow knows that the modeless dialog has been
closed, and that it can calculate and display the result.
Normaly I wouldn't close the first (modeless) dialog. I would open a second
(modal) dialog for displaying the results. But due to the fact that V
couldn't handle this situation (there are repaint problems with a second
_modal_ dialog), I want to avoid this!
