I know your programming question was answered... but you might also like
to consider how hard it would be to design your program so that the
dialogue boxes did not need to be modal at all.

It can be a lot easier for people sometimes if they can
work in the main window even when the dialogue is visible.

I haven't seen your program, of course, so it's just a
suggestion based on general ideas.
