<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>You can use the owner parameter to specify a particular object, which implements the
IWin32Window interface, that will serve as the dialog box's top-level window and owner.
A task dialog is a modal dialog box, which means no input (keyboard or mouse click) can
occur except to objects on the modal form. The program must hide or close a modal form
(typically in response to some user action) before input to another form can occur.</p>
