Dialog called from dialog

lrodrigues
All,
I'm having an issue when trying to open a dialog from another dialog. The last dialog open appears behind the first, in a way that it becomes unvisible to the user. This happens for instance when attaching help resources to controls within a dialog form. It happens also when directly calling xxforms:show.. from a trigger within a dialog. I have tried with both dialogs being modeless, which is my current need. More generally the question would be: is there a way to control the order on the screen (or z-order) in which dialogs are displayed?
Thanks,
Luiz

Would you have a simple example that runs in the XForms sandbox and  
that we can use to reproduce this?

Here's an example. I noticed that the order in which dialogs are displayed depends on the order they are declared in the source, is this true? Anyway, the problem remains with the help pop-ups, as you can try in the attached sample.
Thanks,
Luiz

I see; thank you for the example. First, I created a bug for this:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=308698&group_id=168&atid=350207

I prototyped the following: every time we show a dialog, we display
over whatever was displayed before. So dialogs stack up in the order
in which they are shown. Do you think that this makes sense?

This is now implemented and checked in. Just let me know if you need a
nightly build with this change.

Related to this, there was still an issue with an help dialog shown
after you click on the help icon, which is invoked for a control which
is in an xxforms:dialog. The help dialog should be over the other dialog
for the the xxforms:dialog, but wasn't. This issue is now fixed.
