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.ShowDial og(me) and frmOne calls
frmTwo.ShowDial og(me).
My problem is that when frmTwo is closed or hidden, frmOne also closes or
hides. I would like to prevent this from happening. I tried setting the
forms TopMost. I tried using the SetWindowsPos API call to mess with the
Z-Order of the forms. I tried to just use the frm.Show() method and attempt
to emulate a Modal dialog with trickery. Nothing seems to quite accomplish
what I am trying to do. Can someone please help?
Thanks,
dmitry

Dimitry,
I don't have v1.0 and all that I'm going to say is based on my test agains
1.1; hope it applies for 1.0.
1. In order not to get doalog boxes minimize together and to have the dialog
above its parent show the dialog like this
dlg.ShowDialog( this);
where *dlg* is reference to the dialog box form and *this* is reference to
the parent form (assuming) that the method where ShowDialog is called is
member of the parent form class.
2. As far as it goes for the problem with closing both forms when the top
one is closed it shouldn't happen. If you show the form when the user clicks
on a button check if the button has DialogResult property set. If it has it
will happen. Set the DailogResult of the button to *none*

.. Please, don't "cross post".
Why not most people advice that in the dotNet newsgroups to *relevant*
groups instead of multipost?
I agree with you that the C# newsgroup is in this case almost completely
irrelevant.
For the rest, because that I tested the problem of the OP and had the same
problem as he, do I find it completely relevant as I see how many answers he
got. However because it is so od, I had expected more answers. Your first
one was one that was for me probably in the right direction (there is an old
bug in this area).

Hi,
Your suggestion worked like a charm. I did something stupid and copied the
cancel button from another form. The cancel button had the DialogResult
property set.
Sorry about multiposting. I figured that my question was relevant to all
the groups.
Thanks again for your 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.

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.

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,
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")

I am trying to close/dispose multiple instances of a form but because they
are modal and hidden, they do not show up in My.Application.OpenForms. They
must be modal, so making them modeless is not an option. I also need to
check the values in a spread control on the forms before I close/dispose
them. I'm using VB 2005. Is there some way for me to do this?
