Re: forms 4.5 block navigation

Instead of making canvas B as stacked and associating it with the same window as canvas A, create another window say window2, set the modal property of window2 to true.Make canvas B content canvas and associate it with window2. Size the window and canvas according to your needs. Also adjust the GUI Hints properties for window2 (closeable, fixedsize, iconifiable,movable, zoomable, inherit menu) according to your needs.

Hide the window to using the close button.

This should give you the desired results
