How to make Main Window Modal?

I'd like the startup Windows Form to be Modal.

Here's why:

I'm working on a website that has links to .NET apps. So when the user
clicks on these links they can run the apps locally. Ideally I'd like
to have these apps be children of the IE browser that launched them
and have them be modal so they have to close one app before launching
another.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Child window to IE is not possible, although, you can open a popup IE window
for your application. And for windows form to be modal, use
MyForm myForm = new MyForm();
myForm.ShowDial og();

Good Luck !

The problem is ShowDialog() won't create a modal window for the first
form window you create. IE form1 displayed that way will not be modal
to the desktop which is my problem.

Also when I explicitly call ShowDialog() for my main Windows Form I
end up w/ 2 forms. One shows up after the 1st closes.

Do you know what is automatically making the form show w/o calling any
show methods?

Thanks for the help.

I have a page that opens a child window using window.open(...). How do I make so that when that child window opens you cannot get the focus back on the parent window unless you close the child window? Is it even possible?

I have a windows app whose main dialog contains a button that launches a form. I've tried using Form.Show() to have it launch as a modeless form, but it behaves as if it's modal (i.e. parent form can't receive focus)... Can someone tell me what I need to do to make the child form modeless..??? I want to be able to alternate focus between both dialogs... thanks,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
