That's more or less the method. You can also issue
fl_deactivate_all_forms();
prior to realizing your "modal" form with fl_show_form(). This will
disable interaction with all forms but your dialog box and you'll be
spared the bookkeeping of tracking which forms you have open at any
particular instant.
Of course, you should remember to re-activate all your forms when your
dialog box goes away. Use fl_activate_all_forms() to do this.
