ShowDialog??
Thanks

Paul,
Why do you not want to use ShowDialog? If the form is modal, then I
don't see what the difference is.
What are you trying to do?

Hi
The reason is...
I have the user entering into a form, which must be modal (which I was using
ShowDialog to display), simila to a 'Wizard' style.
However, when the user makes an invalid entry, I want to display a
MessageBox, to inform them of a certain condtion....
this results in another modal form, being shown from a modal form......
When the user clicks 'OK' on the message, both 'modal' forms disappear, ie.
the message, and the 'wizard'.
Any ideas how to stop this?
Thanks

Paul,
Can you show a piece of code that does this? I've whipped up a small
example, and tried to show a modal form, then a messagebox, and regardless
of whether or not I set the parent of the modal form or the dialog box, that
is not the behavior I get.
I think that there is something else going on.
If you could show an example, it would be helpful.

Paul,
I've recreated the example as an MDI app, which has one child form, and
then shows a modal dialog, and then shows a messagebox, and I don't get the
result that you do. I should note that I am running on .NET 2.0, so the
problem could have been fixed.
However, I would ask the following:
- When creating the MDI child form, are you setting the MdiParent property
to the MDI parent form (I assume yes on this one).
- When showing the modal dialog, are you passing the MDI child form as the
owner parameter in the call to ShowDialog?
- When calling the static Show method on the MessageBox, are you passing the
modal dialog as the owner parameter?
I have done all of the above, and could not reproduce the error.
