Focus problem with modal dialog in pane

Hello,

We have an MDI application with a few panes docked in the bottom of the main window. All of the panes contain CFormView-derived classes and one of them brings up a modal dialog on update whenever a condition is met.

The problem is, that after the modal dialog is dismissed, the user cannot click anywhere but on the bottom panes, he can't close the main window, he can't click on anything else but one of the panes in the bottom.
And the weirdest part is that if he clicks on any other window and returns to our application, everything is clickable again.

I tried manually setting the focus to some other window, like the mainframe or the pane itself, but nothing changes, it seems that the active view gets the focus and it doesn't loose it in any way (I even tried manually sending it a WM_KILLFOCUS message!).

Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You need to set the dialog as a child.
