Non-modal dialogs?

Has anyone managed to call up a non-modal dialog from a Vegas script? I'm working on a kind of toolbox, and I want to be able to surrender control of the Vegas window to allow the user to make selections etc.

Is this doable?

(Ideally this would be made as a dockable item, but AFAIK that's not possible with this version of the Vegas API)

Once a script is running, you can do nothing in Vegas until the script stops. It totally takes over so creating a non-modal dialog will have not allow you to do what you are wanting. Just make sure everything gets selected BEFORE running the script or let the script select the proper things.

Yeah, that's what I feared. I guess it has to do with instantiating the vegas-object in fromVegas or something funky like that.

So, what's the alternative? Having a separate application and communicate with it somehow?
