How to disable all other things exept the current frame?

I have a window with some frames, they are showing some data like browsers, combo-boxes, etc. On the default-frame, there is a button to import some data from a file. If that button is clicked, a frame appears in which a file can be searched and the import can be started. Also a button to get back, so then that import-frame disappears.

If this frame is visible, all the other stuff in the background in other frames or default-frames are selectable and usable. How can this be avoided?

I've read, that a frame can be threatened as a dialog box using VIEW-AS DIALOG-BOX. That would be perfect - but where can I set that? In the properties of the frame I haven't such an option.

Your help would be much appreceated.
