I have a form which has a treeview in it.
The user can copy data from this treeview by using drag & drop. In recent times I called the form not modal (form.show()). Yesterday I opened it modal (form.showdialog()) and now it seems that drag & drop does not work. Is drag & drop not possible in modal forms or may there be anything else wrong?

Thx.
 
Assuming you're dragging and dropping all on the modal form, there shouldn't be any problem. If you want the modal form to be able to drag stuff and drop it on the parent form, then you can't do that. What you may want is to make your "modal" form non-modal again but mark it as Always On Top (can't remember the property offhand). That makes the form more like a toolbar. You'll be able to work with either form but the one marked Always On Top will be.... well, always on top :)
