I stumbled on this old thread. I have a similar requirement and I have done the following:

- Created a Loader form with WindowType: Modal and ShowWindow: 1 In Top-Level Form (have also tried 0)
- Currently this is simple with a command button with THISFORM.Release() in it's click
- This in turns calls the actual Top-Level Form that I want to have Modal

- Top-Level form has ShowWindow: 2 As Top-Level Form
- This form has a child form (if it matters)

- Child form has ShowWindow: 1 In Top-Level form

What is happening is that the Loader form is displayed OK. The Top-Level+Child forms are then displayed for a blink and they go behind the application window.

I click the task bar icon a couple of times and the Top-Level+Child forms appear as they should.

Then if I move the Top-Level+Child form a bit, using the mouse drag of the caption, after a few clicks I am able to click on main applications controls and the Load form disappears and the Top-Level+Child forms go one again behind the main application window.

Please advise.
