title: Enable events in main windows while modal window is active
body: <p>In a WPF window I implemented a component that gives an indication of all active errors in the system.
  The component is located in the task bar and</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>If one hovers over the component a tool-tip is shown with summary info</li>
  <li>If one clicks on the control, a panel is the activated that is showing a detailed list.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In the application we also use wizards implemented as modal windows. </p>
  
  <p>Now, here's my problem: if a new event occurs in the system during an active wizard, the component in the task bar is updated however I cannot use the hover event to see a summary. Both events (hover and click) are not usable due to the modal dialog that hides the parents message loop.
  Is their a way (or what's the best solution/suggestion) to have at least the hover message active while the modal wizard is present. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
