Hi,
I have a main form, which i use to open secondary forms. From the
secondary form i need to open a Modal Window in such a way that, my
secondary form is blocked, but i can still access my main forms, and
open other secondary windows.
(An exact analogy for my problem is the Yahoo Messenger, where i can
open any number of chatwindows from the main messenger window; and
from the chat windows i can invoke the File Trasnfer option, which
opens a modal disalog. But even when the File Transfer dialog is
opened, i can still go to the main messenger window and open other
conversation windows)
Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Regards,
Ankit!!

Ankit,
The only way I can think of to do this would be to open the other
windows on other threads. This means that you will have to run message
pumps on those threads. Then, the calls to open a modal dialog should be
applicable for just the window on that thread.
Of course, make sure when making calls between windows, that you are
using the Invoke method. Since the windows are on other threads, all calls
you make to the UI in other threads needs to be marshaled to the correct UI
thread.

One other possibility is to not show the dialog as modal, rather just show
it and set it's owner. When the dialog shows, it set's the owner's Enabled
property to false, and on close it sets it back to true.

I have a ComboBox set up in a non-modal form. When a selection is made from the ComboBox, the handler code closes the form, but then the system crashes because of an unhandled NullReferenceException. There is a reference to Unsafe Native Methods and Callback functions, but Interop Services are not used. What is going on ? The problem does not occur if the form is made modal.

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.

Hi,
I have a periodic problem which I am having a real time trying to sort.
Background:
An MDI VB app with a DB on SQL 2000.
I have wrapped all the DB access into an object which spawns a thread to
access the database and then displays a modal dialog which allows the user
to cancel the task, if it is taking longer than they want, and shows them a
display of how long the query has been running so far.

Im sorry, I dont know the correct description for a hierarchy of parent and

I have a main form that opens a child form modally. This child form in turn
opens it's own child form modally.
I also have a separate thread running that monitors a card reader. If the
user removes the card then the thread calls back the main form to tell it
that the card was pulled. The main form should then close down any children

Hi,
I'm having a problem with modal forms on windows. I've written a very

All works as expected on Linux. The form is modal, not allowing the main

Hi all...
I am bulding an application and wish to use custom Modal dialog windows.
According to a couple of recent articles I have seen, the newer Mozilla
browsers (actually I think they said Netscape) supported syntax like :

For IE I use :

Hi,
I am wondering why the .NET Framework is quite different from Win32 API when
it comes to displaying system modal message boxes.
Consider the four following types of system modal message boxes (please see
associated source code below):
1) Win32 API with context ("btnWin32WithContext_Click")
2) .NET Framework with context ("btnFrameworkWithContext_Click")
3) Win32 API withOUT context ("btnWin32WithOUTContext_Click")

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
