Paul,
Can you show a piece of code that does this? I've whipped up a small example, and tried to show a modal form, then a messagebox, and regardless of whether or not I set the parent of the modal form or the dialog box, that is not the behavior I get. I think that there is something else going on. If you could show an example, it would be helpful. -- - Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] - (E-Mail Removed) "Paul Aspinall" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news  v4Pd.43822$(E-Mail Removed)...> Hi > > The reason is... > I have the user entering into a form, which must be modal (which I was > using ShowDialog to display), simila to a 'Wizard' style. > > However, when the user makes an invalid entry, I want to display a > MessageBox, to inform them of a certain condtion.... > > this results in another modal form, being shown from a modal form...... > > When the user clicks 'OK' on the message, both 'modal' forms disappear, > ie. the message, and the 'wizard'. > > Any ideas how to stop this? > > Thanks > > > "Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote > in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... >> Paul, >> >> Why do you not want to use ShowDialog?

Paul,
I've recreated the example as an MDI app, which has one child form, and then shows a modal dialog, and then shows a messagebox, and I don't get the result that you do. I should note that I am running on .NET 2.0, so the problem could have been fixed. However, I would ask the following: - When creating the MDI child form, are you setting the MdiParent property to the MDI parent form (I assume yes on this one). - When showing the modal dialog, are you passing the MDI child form as the owner parameter in the call to ShowDialog? - When calling the static Show method on the MessageBox, are you passing the modal dialog as the owner parameter? I have done all of the above, and could not reproduce the error. -- - Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] - (E-Mail Removed) "Paul Aspinall" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news v4Pd.43822$(E-Mail Removed)...> Hi > > The reason is... > I have the user entering into a form, which must be modal (which I was > using ShowDialog to display), simila to a 'Wizard' style. > > However, when the user makes an invalid entry, I want to display a > MessageBox, to inform them of a certain condtion.... > > this results in another modal form, being shown from a modal form...... > > When the user clicks 'OK' on the message, both 'modal' forms disappear, > ie. the message, and the 'wizard'. > > Any ideas how to stop this? > > Thanks > > > "Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote > in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... >> Paul, >> >> Why do you not want to use ShowDialog?
