Setting focus on a form

[avanti]

Hi,

I have a few forms in my application. One of the forms is to confirm
some action done on the other form. I want to make sure that the user
clicks this form (by choosing 'yes' or 'no') before continuing to do
anything else. In other words, I want to keep the focus of the user on
this form till it is used.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Avanti

Instead of choosing myForm.Show, use myForm.ShowDialog().
They will not be able to do anything else until they
click on that form.

Thanks. That helped.
However, now I show the form with showdialogue and when I call Close on
this form, the parent window closes as well.

Is there a workaround?
