When making the form modeless, clicking outside the form indeed closes the form. And I can determine that the form .deactivate is called.
Do you suggest to set the form reference to NULL in deactivate()? So that not to have what I believe is called "dangling" references?
UPDATE. The code that runs upon a user clicking on a button of the menu form, is based on the form tag value. That is, the tag is set to '1' when user clicks on the 1st button, and so on.
Now, when the form is deactivated, the value of Tag is gone.
How do I pass the value of selected button to the called method?
