  • If an application is multithreaded, and the programmer has made all threads stop on a main thread's modal dialog, it probably has a very good reason to do that. Unless you've examined the source code of the program in question to find out why, you won't know for sure. The only modal dialogs safe to bypass are the "MsgBox" type ones that simply tell you something.

  • I agree: There cannot be one trick that always works. However, the described situation seems a bit exotic to me. As I said: It is ok if the modified application crashes in some cases. "best effort" is good enough.
