Form Modal Value

[tate]

My memory is slipping me! I believe there is a way to prevent activating another form until the newly instantiated form is closed. I believe it was called modal or somthing like that.

 

For example, a frmAbout is instantiated by a menu click event. The new form loads and is placed on top of the previous form. How do you prevent focus on the previous form until the new form is closed?

 

 

Thanks for your help.

Open the form using the ShowDialog method instead of Show.

That did it. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
