Hi Ulli,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tested the following api:

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow("http://www.google.com/","Google",true);
		window.open();

But this api createExternalWindow() was deprecated in my NWDS(Version: 7.1.0). and the it always open an nonmodal window.

So is there any other solution?

Best regards

Internet explorer 4+ has a method javascript method on the window class showModalDialog which can be used.

See http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_window.asp

and http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Modal_Dialog.asp for more information.
