Hi,

 

This another (sub-process, spawned) window - is it a modal one? I.e. can you switch between it and a main window or you must close this another window in order to be able to return to the main one?

Can you post a screenshot of this sub-process window ?

 

BTW, you are calling this window as 'sub-process'. Is this really so? Can you see another process that corresponds to this window in Windows TaskManager?

    Hi,

    1 The another (sub-process, spawned) window is a modal window

    2 I can switch between the main window and sub-process window， but I can not do any action on main window  when sub-process window open unless I close it

    3 There are two processes  in Windows TaskManager（Pls see screenshot）
