Hello all:

in "modal" style.

I am calling the form in the following way:

dim frm as form2()
frm = new form2()

Thanks!

Hi Don,

frm.ShowDialog()

Note, if you have any buttons on your form and you set the dialog result
property, then those buttons will automatically close the form and return
the DialogResult property value in the ShowDialog method:

Dim drResult As DialogResult = frm.ShowDialog()

If drResult = DialogResult.OK Then
...
Else
...
End If

You are right, nevertheless the method's name is 'ShowDialog' and not 'showDialog'.

are you saying the difference is in the UPPER "S" and LOWER "s" ?

Are YOU saying there is a difference between uper and lower case.

Hi Sender,

Rather than call the Show method, you can call the ShowDialog
function. If I remember correctly, that will be modal within the
application, but it will not grab focus from another application.

HTH.

Hi Cor,
Yes there is when it comes to camel casing.

In my infinite wisdom, I hereby BAN all camel casing from appearing in any
of my posts, it will now appear as asterisks. I'm sure you'll agree
Herfried.
