VB.Net: Open a form as modal
From Wiki
You can open a dialog as modal (from MSDN: When a form is displayed modally, no input (keyboard or mouse click) can occur except to objects on the modal form. The program must hide or close a modal form (usually in response to some user action) before input to another form can occur. Forms that are displayed modally are typically used as dialog boxes in an application.) by using Show dialog
- Public Class Form1
- Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
- Dim _frm2 As New Form2
- _frm2.ShowDialog()
- End Sub
- End Class
You can also do this
- Public Class Form1
- Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
- Dim _frm2 As New Form2
- _frm2.ShowDialog(me)
- End Sub
- End Class
This means that the parentform property will be set on the modal form so that you can easily refer to the parent if needed. For the rest it will just do the same thing.
