Description Lionel Elie Mamane 2013-07-11 09:51:18 UTC 
The dialog opened by Tools/SQL has IMHO no good reason to be modal.

That dialog is implemented by dbaccess/source/ui/dlg/directsql.{src,cxx}.

I tried just replacing "ModalDialog" by "Dialog", but that makes a syntax error in directsql.src

@caolan: any hint?

Try "ModelessDialog" (and make that same change in the .cxx/,hxx for the baseclass of the dialog

That compiles, but as soon as the Base window gets focus, the dialog window grabs focus, so in practice it is as-if it were modal.
