What about placing everything that will be behind your dialog into a group, then disable the group when showing the dialog and enabling it when it closes?

Please, anyone...
In my current app I'm attempting to mitigate the very small text dialogs that appear in 
the Windows' version of applications by rolling my own. Some Dialogs such as the page 
setup present some major challenges to doing this, but with others it's not really much 
of a problem; however, I would like the ones that I do create make their appearance as 
sheets. Can that be done? Also... I'm not using stacks for these Dialogs. I'm just 
creating Text fields with overlying buttons. The problem with this is that I need to 
implement a method by which these "Dialogs" can be modal in behavior. I am 
doing that by including a mouseUp handler in the stack script that requires certain 
activity when a given item is visible. Anyone have a better method of doing this? Is 
there something already built in that does this?

TIA,
