Re: IE8 Modality

why you need to prevent the user from switching to another tab?

We've got an extension that runs in IE8, and we want to show a modal dialog within the IE instance, but we've noticed that it does not appear to be modal - you can still switch tabs, etc..

Now, we can manually disable the parent window by passing the window handle in to the ShowDialog method. However, in Vista with UAC = on, this method doesn't work because I think there's cross-process security restrictions in place that doesn't allow this to happen.

Is there any way to create an IE8 modal dialog in Vista with UAC = on?
