Modal Form

[sdocker]

I have a form that has the following properties;
Closable = .F.
Desktop = .T.
ShowWindow = 2 - As Top level Form
WindowType = 1 - Modal

When the form is called it is not Modal. I coded THISFORM.SHOW(1) in the Init procedure, but the WindowType return 0 - Modeless.


What happens is, if I click on the underlying form, the underlying form closes and the problem form remains active. When I close the app the problem form is there, but it disappears after a few seconds.


For what it's worth, I did not have this problem until I started a user defined toolbar.

IIRC, top level forms are never modal no matter what you do.

Also, for whatever it's worth, DO NOT call form.Show from form.Init. Instead, DO FORM ... NOSHOW, and then call Show from the calling code. Otherwise, you're messing with the normal event model, and that generally doesn't end well.

Set ShowWindow to *in* top level form (and display it in another form) to get modal.
