Hi,
I would like to define something like this:
\def\startSolution{\startmode[solutions]...}
\def\stopSolution{...\stopmode}
But when I use \startSolution and \stopSolution, and mode solutions isn't
enabled, I get something like
Runaway argument?
aaa \stopSolution \stoptext
! File ended while scanning use of \dostopmode.
system > error on line 0 in file : File ended while scanning use of
\dostopmode ...
What's the proper way of doing this?

Use \startmode[...] ... \stopmode in your document without your own Solution environment or define the environment as
\definebuffer[Solution][local=yes]
\startmode[solutions]
\setupbuffer[Solution][local=no]
\stopmode
\starttext
...
\startSolution
solution
\stopSolution
...
\stoptext

How would I then do something like this?
\def\startSolution{\startmode[solutions]\startframedtext}
\def\stopSolution{\stopframedtext\stopmode}

\startmode[solution]
\setupbuffer[Solution][local=no,before=\startframedtext,after=\stopframedtext]

In general, I agree with Wolfgang. It is better to redefine the macro at
an outer level. You can even do:
\defineframedtext[Solution]
\startnotmode[solution]
\definebuffer[Solution][local=yes]
\stopnotmode
However, in the few cases that you actually need to check for a mode
inside a macro, you can use \doifmode ... etc.
