help window blocked when accessed from modal dialog

Activating my CSH from a modal dialog leaves not only the main frame inactive but the help window as well preventing further navigation in the help.

Do I have to start the help in a separate JVM earning a load of communication problems or is there an elegant way to circumvent this restriction?

I'd be happy for comments...

I think the following code will fix the problem. src is the modal dialog and m_broker is your help broker.

We need the following call otherwise modal dialog won't allow the help dialog to gain focus when clicked on...

((DefaultHelpBroker)m_broker).setActivationWindow( src);
