Hello,
I display a modal window using openWindow(winAlert,Modal).
This works fine except when I test it on a machine has a modal application
running permanently (like a Win Based POS). The alert window does not
show up. Is there a "System Modal" constant I can use?
Thanks

Depends on how the POS is written, i guess.
Are you using WS_EX_TOPMOST as a parameter when you create winAlert?
Same effect as DS_SYSMODAL....

I suspect that it is just hiding behind the window that on top. So I suggest
you set an event handler for your window's Activate event and call
moveZOrder() to move your window to the front.
