Yes, that's the book.  When you get it, Hack #45, Animating a Sheet Dialog, is 
the one I am thinking of.  It shows how to make an animation for a dialog as it 
appears and disappears.  Similar to the Mac interface at the time it was 
written.  I think you could use the same technique to grey the background and 
then display your dialog on top to make a lightbox.
