-----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Discussion forum for developers using Windows Forms to build apps and controls [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne av Lloyd J. Franklin < Sounds like a design issue to me. Wouldn't an MDI interface suit your requirements better? It might be easier for the user. > Well, the answer to that is "yes and no". The application is moderately complex, with an interface consisting of 1 to N MDI containers/parent forms, and that's is from where the problem stems. If a user opens a modal dialog in MDI container 1, and ALT-TABs to MDI container 2, the application is blocked. The best behavior would be for the modal dialogs to be modal only for the MDI container from which it was started, but that does not seem to be easy to accomplish (to me, anyway). Eyvind.
