Okay. I've maken a window with a single <Cancel> button in IB and when opened it as a modal window. But it stopped all backround process!!!
Then I tried to open this modal window in a separate thread. It works all right - doen't stop background process, but here're another problem:

- the button on the dialog box doesn't work until the backgound process is completed. It's bad! What I need is to be able to press the button while the process is going and cancel it.

What should I do to make the button work?? That's the only problem left...
