modal dialog & home made popup panel

[Lloyd Dupont]

I have a home made popup panel which are constructed by using borderless,
resized window.
I use them in home made combobox.

Now I ran into a problem with modal window.
I have a modal window with a home made combobox.
When click into it it popups my home made popup panel.
But then I can't clic on it as the dialog is modal.

Any similar experience and/or workaround or tip to share ?

I'm building a custom ComboBox in the same way (popup list is in a
borderless form) and have encountered the same problem.

If I use Show() to display my popup form, I get the behavior I want
EXCEPT that the caption for my popup form appears on the title bar.
I've searched the groups but thus far I haven't found a way to display
the popup without affecting the PPC title bar. Can this be done?

Can you make the popup panel modal too?

Try setting the Text property of the popup form to the Title bar text of
the main form, then the caption will stay unchanged when the popup form
appears.
