Incorrect. All MFC dialog applications are modal by default, and switching to another dialog/application is no problem at all.DoModal() creates a dialog that MUST be dealt with before the user can move to another task ie a critical error, log on screen ect. Therefore you should not be able to switch to another dialog/application until you have closed the modal one.
Intruder, maybe you could post the CDialog derived class that is giving you trouble.

OK. My experience tells me otherwise.
AFAIK;
Any WIN32 (MFC) application is not modal/modeless.
The apps windows/dialogs are created modal or modeless. For example the 'About' dialog created with all MFC apps is modal.
MSDN under CDialog :: DoModal()
“This member function handles all interaction with the user while the dialog box is active. This is what makes the dialog box modal; that is, the user cannot interact with other windows until the dialog box is closed.”
Again from MSDN
“You can use class CDialog to manage two kinds of dialog boxes:
Modal dialog boxes, which require the user to respond before continuing the program
Modeless dialog boxes, which stay on the screen and are available for use at any time but permit other user activities “
