Thank You for Your time to answer my question, but this doesn't solve my problem.
If I close modal window the way You say, when I get back to calling form, rollback
and commit buttons on the form toolbar are disabled so I can not do anything.
System does not allow You to exit form before commiting or rolling back. But, You can't do it.

Also, I use modal form for List Of Values (LOV). Every time I call the LOV form
I change Translate property of a list control in InitializeWindow method. If I
don't close the form but dismiss it this piece of code doesn't work second time
I call it.

Thank You anyway.
