I created a dialog that runs over the main form. In .NET such a dialog has focus by default. I mean that you cannot focus the main form until the dialog is closed.

I noticed that in U++ a dialog is always on top of the main form, but I can still focus the main form. Is there a way to make the main form unfocusable until I closed my dialog?

Yes, you can. It is called modal and modeless dialogs. It seems you created modeless dialog instead of modal one. To create modal dialog in U++ you have a number of techniques (see Help for "Modal" inside TheIDE). The quickest way seems to call Execute() for your dialog object (notice that you also have ExecuteOK()/ExecuteCancel()).
