Hi,

Calling a method in the main form is no different to calling any external function - execution will return to the calling code - and the .Release will not occur until the modal method itself completes. Try using .Hide ...

>I have a main form with a toolbar. One of its buttons will open a modal form. The modal form will call main form's method when a user clicks on Ok button and send its reference to it. The called method of the main form releases the modal form right away and then does some processing.
>Why I can see the modal form while the method does the processing, why it does not disappear right away since it's released in the first line of code?
