How do you get back to the Point Properties dialog when it becomes hidden? When another application takes the focus away from the Point Properties modal window, it gets lost and I cannot figure out how to get back to it.
Hi Keith,
Are you referring to the dialog box seen in the picture below? If so, would you elaborate on the phrase "application takes the focus away from the Point Properties modal window"? What are you doing to take away the focus? Please advise. I cannot do anything to make this dialog box disappear except to hit the "close" button.

Yes, that is the dialog. My email notifies me with a popup and it can cause the focus to be taken away. Then, I cannot Alt-Tab or use any keystrokes to get back to it or close it. Additionally, MicroStation does not even show up in the Alt-Tab menu.
This almost sounds like it could be a Windows issue.
So sounds like a Window issue is the official Bentley answer?
I'm not a programmer, but a simple modal form must retain the focus or it will get lost if the focus shifts to another form. That is not a Windows (or Mac or Linux) problem. It is a problem with the software that is designed with the modal form.
