[urgent] MsgBox is non-modal.

[js]

Hi all,

I currently encounter a problem and it is urgent to me.

After calling the MsgBox.Show(), the message box is shown with non-modal
mode, what is the possible reason??? This only happen in the VB project,
works fine in C# project.

SystemModal and ApplicationModal MsgBoxStyle were all tried and there
was no help.

Please show the code and circumstances. The default behavior of
MessageBox.Show() is to produce an application model message box, IME. I
also tested MsgBox() without incident. It, too, seems to default to
application modal.

A similiar thread with more details was posted under
....dotnet.framework.winform group, below contains some useful information
that may help.

I also made a very simple usercontrol which could produce the problem,
please let me know if you need it.

I have put the question in as a possible bug.
Will post back as soon as I have some info for you.
I have seen other issues posted about the valuechanged event and msgbox.

Julie,

Yes, only the DateTimePicker has the issue. The reason I just choose
this control is I was constructing a custom dropdown control which I believe has the similar window relationship as the DateTimePicker control. My
customer reported the non-modal problem to me and I immediately checked the DateTimePicker, "luckily" it has the same problem.

I was trying to work around it but with no result, whatever both the
MsgBoxStyle.SystemModal and the MsgBoxStyle.ApplicationModal do not take
effect in this scenario. I have no idea whether this is a bug in the .NET
Framework.

Any .NET MVP could help?

You are partially right. I tried the datetimepicker and a few other
controls. So far it is only the date time picker that is ignoring the modal

state of the dialog box. Try a checkbox and put your msgbox in the
checkedChanged event or a button with a msgbox in the click event.

I could not find any info on this via google.

I will ask some more MVP's if they are familiar with this problem.

Hi,

In some situation, the message box can not be shown in modal mode.

Please drop a DateTimePicker control on a Form (VB project), show a message box in the ValueChanged event, as below snippet. Now run the form and drop down the calendar, select a date to let the event fire, after the message box shown, we can still activate the form background. This happens whatever MsgBoxStyle is specified even as MsgBoxStyle.SystemModal.
Private Sub DateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal

e

As System.EventArgs) Handles DateTimePicker1.ValueChanged
MsgBox("DateTimePicker1_ValueChanged",

MsgBoxStyle.ApplicationModal)

End Sub
The same scenario could be reproduced in a C# project, but I could

pass it if by specifying the Form as the owner of the message box, as below code.
private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs

e)
{
MessageBox.Show(this, "dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged");
}

Is something wrong in the message box method in VB?
