System Modal Form

Hi guys,
I need to make a system modal form, any ideas on how to do that in vb.net.
Seems an API call is about the only way?????

Any help greatly appreciated!

Maybe you are successful on Win 3.11. ;-)

No, seriously now, there are no system modal forms anymore because, by
design, no application is more important than others. As a Win programmer we
have to take into account that there are other applications, too.

AFAIK this is only possible with some really low-level Windows API
hacks, maybe by replacing the shell. Why do you need that?
