>>>I have a modal form that I show when a button is selected on another form. Is there any way to determine when a user has clicked on the underlying form (the one that contains the button that launched the modal form)?

>>Maybe, I am not sure because I never need that. But if you want to intercept mouse click on parent form why this form is modal?

>The form is modal because what I'm trying to do is, from a button on a form, launch the modal form that displays a calendar. This modal form has no titlebar and appears to the user as a dropdown calendar that appears immediately below (or above) the button without overlapping it (and an associated textbox that shows the date). It is 100% VFP code and I want to avoid the ActiveX calendar control.

>As such, I want my modal form calendar to behave like any dropdown where when a user clicks outside of the calendar part, it simply disappears or in my case, the form releases.
