You'll have to forgive me if this question seems a little silly but it's about time that I ask. In the programming I've done the only time that I saw a reason for a modeless form was when I wanted to alert the user to something but wanted processing to continue in the background. I could have done this with a wait window but they're so ugly.

But other than that, I've never had need of a modeless form. Yet, it's the default. So I'm figuring there must be something I'm missing. Could someone please clue me in on the usefulness of modeless forms? Thanks.
