show MDI child as modal

[vyper78]

Guys

I've got an MDI app which has several MDI children. Two of the children are interrelated (ie: can open each other via button) and transfer info from/to each other ... but I would like them to open like a popup.

Is there someway to emulate this in any fashion?

I guess what I could do is have a picture box in a regular form and place the form in that when required.

Any ideas?

Do you want them to be model to each other but not to the overall MDI app?

Hi Sheco

Basically, when the child is opened viathe MDI main form, open it as you would an MDI child; however, when opened via another form, open it modally.

The reason for this is that all of my forms do not have borders, so they appear "part" of the mdi main form.

Hope this helps
