Author and a remoting followup on window status

Hi again,

I also have a 3rd question that isn't related to remoting directly - but which has come up in conjunction with it.

Given that I have a single running instance which is also an interactive application. It is really only "sensible" for the application to service the IPC commands from a new instance when it is not displaying a modal dialogbox, message box, running a "wiz
ard" etc.)

Do I have to manually signal the IPC channel server that it is "not available" before displaying any wizard, messagebox, and whatnot, and then signal it "is available" when these boxes are exited?

Or is there some simple way for it to just "know" that the application has a modal box up?

I guess I'm looking for a way for a thread (where the remote object is running) to check the modal status of the application?

Thanks again,
Dave
