Problems with Minimizing Forms

[Don]

I have a form that displays a second form modally (via ShowDialog). When
the second form gets minimized, how do you get the parent form to minimize,
too?

Don,

Before showing the second form modally, make the first form the owner of the
second form:

Dim f As New Form2()

f.Owner = Me
f.ShowDialog()

That doesn't work. :-(

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that the method containing this
code is in a module and not a form? I gave the method a parameter via which
a form can pass a reference to itself, and this reference is then set to be
the owner of the new form, so it's doing exactly the same thing you
specified, in essence. However, it just doesn't seem to want to work.

Hmmm... After further testing, this does not appear to work when called
directly from a form, either.

There's got to be some way to do this. I know it worked properly in VB6...

When
the second form gets minimized, how do you get the parent form to
minimize,
too?
