I think you may have mis-read the question.
I would like to open a modal form (dialog form) within my top level form.
They must fill out the information on my modal form first before they can continue.
Does that make sense?Leave a comment:

Can't open a Modal (showdialog) form
I am unable to open a child form as a modal form.
Here is my scenario
I have a MainForm which is a toplevel form.
Inside the MainForm I have a Toolbar Form which is a child.
From the Toolbar Form I call another child form.
From that child form I need to call myModalForm.

Show image in Listview when populating with an array.
Hi
I am trying to add an image to a listview box. I have the below code and according to me this should work. However, the image does not show at all. I can add an image when I manually add each item but not when I add the items as an array.
Can someone please tell me what is going wrong?
...Code:this.lstUser.View = View.Details; this.lstUser.GridLines = true; -
myform.MdiParen t = this.MdiParent;Leave a comment:

Surely there is an easier answer than this? Should it not be a setting that says that this the first form is the parent form and the rest are child forms?Leave a comment:

Form within a form within a form
Here is my problem.
I have a MainForm which is the parent.
I have a toolbar form which is the child.
ToolBarForm mytoolbarform = new ToolBarForm();
mytoolbarform.M diParent = this;
mytoolbarform.S how();
I now want to call a third form from the Toolbar form which is a child of the MainForm.
How do I do that?

I would like to get a general Exception handler.
I don't want to put try and catches around everything?
In other programming languages I have created a general exception handler class that handle all errors and exceptions.
I was wondering if there was any general Exception handler classes in C#.
Something that would have to be a generic custom built class.Leave a comment:

Custom Error Handling Class
Hi
I would like to create a custom error handling class and am not sure how to go about it.
Try/Catch statements work however, if I am outside of that statement then the VS2008 debugger comes up.
I would like to create my own class to handle any/every exception so that I can display back to the user what the error is, where it has happened (Form Name), Line Number and a box for them to write in what they... -
