>I am developing an MDI-Application that needs to display MDI-Child forms that are "Modal." I know that VB.Net does not support Modal MDI Child forms (At least from what I have experienced, if someone knows how please let me know). I decided to work around this limitation. So I developed regular NON-MDI forms and displayed them Modally, but then inside these NON-MDI Forms, I placed code in the "Move" event to limit the position of the form within the current boundaries of the MDI-Parent. All in all, I got the "work-around" to function. But I have a small, visually irittating, problem. If I drag the Modal form to one of the edges of the MDI-Parent, the Move event code prevents me from going further as it should, BUT you see the entire form flicker as if briefly "draws" the form past the MDI-Parent border, before the Move Event repositions the form back within the parent's borders. Is there any way to disable the painting of the form once the edge of the valid moving area is
>reached, in order to prevent the flickering?

Ben,
Could you please describe why you want a modal MDI child form?
