The call to the to tool is made from within a python add-in button tool. The python tool dialog box launches with no problem, but the dialog box is modal. I would like it the user to still be able to interact with ArcMap. Has anyone been able to launch a non-modal tool dialog? Or, is this just a limitation? I am on 10.2.1.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 28 May 2014 17:10:12 GMT EdFarrell 2014-05-28T17:10:12Z Python Add-In GPToolDialog modal dialog box https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-add-in-gptooldialog-modal-dialog-box/m-p/451167#M35375 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am calling a python tool (i.e. within a python toolbox) using the pythonaddins.GPToolDialog() function.

However, the pythonaddins.GPToolDialog() bug is back (see NIM-089253). I had no problem with this in bug in 10.2.1, but this is obviously a serious problem. I now have to roll back to 10.2.1 because of this. I can go on about the problems this causes, but I will save it for the bug report.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 29 May 2014 13:08:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-add-in-gptooldialog-modal-dialog-box/m-p/451169#M35377 EdFarrell 2014-05-29T13:08:52Z
