This isn't a really pressing question, but am curious what anyone else's GUI standards are.

We use a lot of cListObjEditForms. Often times on these forms we have (you guessed it) cListObjEdit grids on them. And one grid can easily load another form, whenever you edit a record. So, it's possible to have 3 forms up at once. (although the user only sees the top one, of course)

cListObjEditForms are modal, and this works quite well, since you want the user only editing the current detail, before moving between parent records.

However, we also use the Mere Mortal SideBarForm for navigational purposes. (It resembles the Windows Explorer). It's set to blend with any Forms that are up, to make it look like 1 form, total.

The problem is, cListObjEditFOrms are modal, thus you have to exit them to operate the sidebarform again. We tried making the forms nonmodal, but had a hard time making any newly made forms, show up on top. What's the secret to making newly-created cListObjeEditForms show up on top, and be the active window?

Also, which would you do? Make them non-modal (and run the risk of the user changing forms via the window-menu?) or make them close out of each cListObjEditForm to access the ever-present SideBarForm-navigator?
