I have two GUI`s. One of them is invoked on the click of the button on the first. Now I need to make the second dialog a modal one, i.e., it should be at the top of the first one whenever it`s invoked. Also I need to go to the first GUI without closing the second, i.e., the second GUI should alkways be there at the top of the first one whenever I invoke it. Is there any way by which I can do it.

Modal Widgets
Yes and no. You need the cooperation of a window manager such as mwm or one of its derivatives. These window managers pay attention to properties on the windows and display secondary dialog windows above their logical parents. Note, though, that it isn`t great form to depend on such a window manager feature.
Can you create another top level shell for the widges in your modal dialog, and then just manage / unmanage it as needed?
