The Issue:
The Vault login dialog pops up whenever you're interacting with a file that's in vault. However the vault dialog may not always appear on top of your screen. My vb.net programs will just sit there on hold until the login has been completed. Until you notice that the vault dialog has popped up, its hard to determine why the program has stalled. I have wasted many hours troubleshooting only to find a login dialog buried under other windows.
The Goal:
The goal is to allow me access to the vault login dialog.
Possible solution(s):
Since there are already controls in the Inventor API to login to vault; albeit it's a "background" login. Add one more control/method/property tying the background login with the login dialog.
