Description
currently, ShowXXXMessage API from RemoteWindow doesn't let server ask client to show modal message box and it is completely up to client.
It would be nice if one can ask client to show modal window instead of leaving it to client.
the usage case for us is we need to decide whether we should proceed with some expansive refactoring after user action, so we want to ask the user but prevent the user from changing code before answer.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the RemoteWindow ShowXXXMessage API and how the protocol lets a server request client behavior. Done means defining a way for the server to request a modal message box so the client cannot leave the decision entirely to user-side handling.
