Create a window that is locking all underlying windows?

[Lars Netzel]

How do I set so that a window (like a settings window) is locking all the
other stuff in the application and you need to close that befor eyou can use
the stuff behind?

Lars,

That's called a Modal window and can be created using the ShowDialog method.

dim myModal as New Form1
myModal.ShowDialog()
MsgBox("This line will execute only after myModal is closed")
