I have been trying to set the background of the parent window when the modal window is not hidden and it appears the it does not work.
I created a modalBackground property in my stylesheet and referenced it in the webdialogwindow properties and nothing happens.
Also after closing the modal window and opening it back up the window is not modal anymore.
Nevermind. Problem resolved.
Can you turn the background off completely? I tried the transparent property, but that did not work.
