Hi all,
Wonder if anyone can shed any light on this scenario.
I have an MDI form, Form1, that opens a child window Form2.. - simple
enough. However, from Form2, I would like to open a form Form3 (is a 'search
and select' type form) and have it modal to form2 AND be an MDI child...
i.e. the user cannot get back to Form2 without doing whatever they have to
do in Form3, but at the same time can go and do something else in Form1 -
e.g. open another form.!!..
I'm sure this has been explained in the past - if anyone can help it would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Graham

Either it's an MDI child -or- it's modal. MDI children are not modal.
BTW, the ADO.Net group is not the right destination for the message, also
it's not VB.Net specific.
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.windowsform s would have been the right
one. Only mentioned for future questions. :-)

My App is an MDI Parent with MDI Child forms.
One of the child forms calls a modal dialog form.
I would like the modal dialog form to be INSIDE the mdi parent window.
I am not bothered about any of the other things associated with MDI
Parent/Child relationships, this is purely an appearance issue.
MDIParent property and ShowDialog seem to be mutually exclusive.

I wonder if there's any way around this.
I open a window as a modal form, but I would like to have pop up
message boxes appearing on top of this that are non modal (so the user
can close whichever of the pop ups they like). If I make the parent
window non modal this works fine. I simply set the TopMost property
for each pop up so that is stays on top of the parent. However as soon
as I make the parent window modal (which is absolutely...

Hi Everyone,
I am working in VB.NET, Framework v.1.0. I have tons of forms in my
application. I have a situation, where a form starts another form as a
Modal Dialog. The Modal Dialog then possibly starts another form as Modal
Dialog. Thus, if the main form is frmMain, and the other two forms are
frmOne and frmTwo, then frmMain calls frmOne.ShowDialog(me) and frmOne calls
frmTwo.ShowDialog(me).
My problem is that when frmTwo is...

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.

Hi there. I'm having a little problem here with some forms.
Let me describe the problem: my application has a MDI parent form (the form that starts with the application); then when I click a button a modal form appears; this modal form has a button in it that when clicked should close itself, create a new child form for the parent and create another modal form. The thing is that when I click the button on the modal form it does close itself but...
