Default

A modal window has exclusive focus, meaning, it requires user input before any other action can take place. Controls outside of the modal window will not take any user interaction until the modal is dismissed.

A modeless window is just the opposite, meaning, they don't require immediate user input before being closed or for interaction with other controls to take place.

Hope this helps.
