In VFP, I could get the application to start without a menubar or toolbar and display and activate a login form. Once the user logged in the menu and toolbar(s) would show.

In .NET, I have it doing something similar except for one issue. When the application shows the login form it doesn't set the focus to that form, the main MDI form retains the focus. This is what I have:

private void frmMain_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{

//Set up the main form

			Boolean blnLoginSuccess = false;
			Boolean blnLoginError = false;
			frmLogin frmLogin = new frmLogin();	// Create the Login Dialog

			do
			{
				blnLoginError = false;	//Reset
				frmLogin.ShowDialog(this);	// Show the Login dialog 

                     // Remainder deals with return values.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
