Is that how it works? Multiple instances must be the way, then. I had sort of thought (but then I haven't done any Win32 programming for a while) that a modal dialog only disabled its owner window (and the owner's children), not other top-level windows?

Modal dialogs are IMO another reminder that your application developers prioritise their nostalgia for DOS days, over your user experience.
