Hi list,...
Is there a way to determine wheter the system FilesInUse dialog was already displayed (and answered by user) in order to not display it again (from custom action)? I can publish a property from the customized (authored) dialog and check it in th CA. But what about the build-in FilesInUse dialog (during basic UI)? On the other side - I can ommit additional check for FilesInUse when running in basic UI. Thaks in advance...
