How to freeze Forms on SKILL ?

[eslam mostafa]

Dear ALL
I have a Form (Mother Form) created in SKILL which has a button which
displays/opens another from (Child Form). I need to disable/freeze the
mother Form once the child form is displayed. And returns to be active
after closing the Child Form. I mean by freezing is not to accept any
actions in the Mother Form like switches, buttons, string fields or
etc.

Is it possible in SKILL?
If yes, What is the function in SKILL which allows me to make that
procedure ?

Thanks in advance

Add the argument "?dialogStyle modal" to hiCreateAppForm for the child form,
and that will block input to all other forms/windows in DFII until that form
is OKed or Canceled.

There currently is no way to block a single form while another form is up.
