1649.0. "Stacking order of modal dialog boxes" by ULTRA::WRAY (John Wray, Secure Systems Development) Wed Nov 01 1989 18:15

    My application creates several modal dialog boxes in a callback.  These
    are created in the same place on the screen.  Does the toolkit
    guarantee anything about the stacking order in which they will appear?

    The Intrinsics in R4 will specify the order that windows are
    created in (which specifies the stacking order), and it's the
    same as R3 behaviour.  So, I guess that's as good a "guarantee"
    as you'll get.  If it works today the way you want it, it
    should continue to work that way.

    ... for XUI, that is.  Motif modal dialog boxes are "window-managed",
    so the dialog boxes will no longer be "siblings".  The stacking
    order will then be the order the boxes are "managed" in.

    I have a Motif application that behaves as described by Leo.
