// CModalApiShuttle. (Base class for CModalShellApi and CModalSendMail.)
//
// Both the SHFileOperation() and MAPISendMail() functions show modeless dialogs,
// but we want them to be modal.
//
// My first approximation was:
//
// AfxGetMainWnd()->EnableWindow(false);
// Do the operation (SHFileOperation respectively MAPISendMail)
// AfxGetMainWnd()->EnableWindow(true);
//
// But when the operation window is destroyed, the system brings
// some other window to the foreground and WinDirStat ends up in the background.
// That's because it is still disabled at that moment.
//
// So my solution is this:
// First create an invisible (zero size) (but enabled) modal dialog,
// then do the operation in its OnInitDialog function
// and end the dialog.
//
