Is there any possibility of changing the parent of a modal dialog?

I created a dialog from an application by calling DoModal() from a posted user message, But unexpectedly the parent of that dialog is not the main window of that application. Parent window is another application's window.

Actually two applications are Active document servers embeded in a container.

Thanks

Solution 1

What do you mean by change the parent. You can use the results of your dialog to change values in the parent window but I suspect that is not your question. Please clarify.

Solution 2

I suppose you could use this:

SetParent[^]

It should do exactly what you want.
