MsgBox

[DavePilot]

Well the search feature is down on Tek Tips so don't blast me too much if this has been answered.

What I've done: Set a form's ShowInTaskBar property to false and then use a message box inside this form.

What Happens: The main window (the one with ShowInTaskBar property set to true) displays itself with the MsgBox on top of it. When you click ok/cancel in the MsgBox the main window is hidden the the other form is shown again.

What I want to happen: I don't want the Main Window to show. But neither do I want to hide the main window. I'm working with some modeless dialogs so I want the user to be able to open another form if they want to.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Dave

I'm afraid that I can not figure out what you are asking. Could you rephrase the request?

I've figured out what was going on. Looks like a known bug in VB. I was able to change the border style of the from from FixedDialog to FixedSingle.
