Modal / Parent forms VB.net

[Graham Blandford]

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.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms would have been the right
one. Only mentioned for future questions. :-)
