modeless status dlg and disabling main app

C

Simple question:

After displaying a modeless status dialog, how does one go about
disabling the main app given that you know the "owner" of the modeless
dialog?

The idea of modeless dialogs is not to disable the main form.
If you want to disable it use modal dialogs.

I think, though that I see whay you want to use modeless dialogs for showing
the status. If you want to disable the main form and having reference to it
can't you just set owner.Enabled = false.
