Remarks

#### Notes to Callers

The active in-place object calls IOleInPlaceFrame::EnableModeless to enable or disable modeless dialog boxes that the container might be displaying. To display a modal dialog box, the object first calls IOleInPlaceFrame::EnableModeless, specifying FALSE to disable the container’s modeless dialog box windows. After completion, the object calls IOleInPlaceFrame::EnableModeless, specifying TRUE to reenable them.

#### Notes to Implementers

You should track the value of EnableModeless and check it before displaying a dialog box.
