modal dialog

[Nick Hoare]

Hi, what is the correct setting to make a dialog modal? i.e. you must enter
close it before operating on any other screens. Nothing seems to work for me
in Visual Studio, i try FixedDialog for example yet i can still click past
it.

Thanks,
Nick.

Re: modal dialog

FixedDialog is Form's FormBorder property, it has nothing to do with showing
modal form. There are two methods to display a form: Form.Show() and
Form.ShowDialog (). It is obvious which one gives you a modal form.

Re: modal dialog

Nick,

If you are using Forms, that you use the ShowDialog() method.

Dim frm As New MyCustomForm
frm.ShowDialog( )

Please see the documentation for more details.
