i've seen previous posts somewhat related to this, so i apologize if
this is redundant.
I have a main form with separate threads. When showing a dialog like
<dialog>.ShowDi alog(), it functions as a non-modal instead of modal.
any help is appreciated, thanks.

The reason this is happening is that you are most likely not running
message loops in those separate threads.
Why are you showing dialogs and using user interface controls in
separate threads anyways? Not that it's not possible, but for the vast
majority of situations, it's just not necessary.

we do need a form/dialog for one of the threads and for it to be
modal. so, message loops are the answer? can you giude or point me
to an example? thanks...

Forest,
Ok, so why doesn't the worker thread call Invoke on a control on the
main UI thread, and then have that method passed to Invoke handle showing
the modal dialog?
Something tells me that you need to do a lot of work to make sure that
your app is performing multi threading and UI operations correctly. You
need to sort those issues out first.

Here is the problem:
I have written a non-modal frame class in Java for displaying help
text when a user is using an application. It works as desired in that
if the user selects "help" again, the same frame is used -- this is
done using a singleton. The user can do other stuff in the main
window while the help window is up.
However, when I have a modal dialog pop-up to get information from the
user, it blocks events to the help...

I get a Null Reference Exception if I close a non-modal dialog (that is, a
form opened with Show()) when a selection is made from a ComboBox. The error
message refers to Unsafe Native Methods, but the code is 100% managed. The
exception is not thrown if the dialog was modal (opened with ShowDialog()) or
if the selection is made from, say, a ListBox.
I have included a simple example below.
I am using C#.NET 2003, Standard Edition.

Hi, there,
I have a multi-threaded non-MFC program that will include a regular dll
which would be part of the user interface, possibly a dialog based interface.
I would prefer to have the user interface dll run on its own thread. How to
do that? I can't find the answer from the msdn knowledge base.
Thanks a lot in advance!

I have implemented a dialog box (an aspx page) using showModalDialog.
Because the dialog needs to process postbacks, I have implemented it in a
frameset. In the top of the framset page, I have defined a title as follows:

At runtime, the text in the title bar appears like this:

Hi!
I'm working on a web application in Asp.net and what I would like to
have is a cross borwser modal dialog which accepts user's input.
I would like to catch what the user clicked on the dialog. To be more
specific I want to have a confirmation dialog that is shown when a user
clicks on a Delete button (which deletes some values from database). If
Yes is pressed the delete action is processed otherwise modal dialog is
closed.

I have created a new form from the main form. When I close the main

Is this normal? It is ok / dangerous? How can I force shutdown code
