I have a modal dialog, which in turn should display another modal dialog on
top. However, both dialogs are not really modal, I can click besides them
and continue. Both dialogs are derived from CDialog and opened with
dlg.DoModal. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you managed to have no valid main window? Is it maybe a dialog based
app?
A MFC modal dialog will try to disable it's parent window, that is given in
the constructor, like CSomeModalDialog Dlg(pParentWindow);
If you don't supply this it is assumed NULL and this causes the apps main
window to be the parent window. I think in a dialog based app there is no
main window since it is itself created "DoModal()" Just try to supply the
window that you want to be disabled for pParentWindow. Eg. "this".
