I have:

THISFORM.WINDOWTYPE = 0

in my init of the form. Before I changed my design, I was changing it to 1. So it's definitely not read only. I use it by passing a parameter to the form to tell whether I want it modeless or not. I can't guarrantee it will work later as I've only done it in the init, but I know it works there.
