In order to remain Modal, the Form needs to run in the context of the VFP screen; to fix this, make your form's ShowWindow property = 2, and then use SCREEN=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW to toally hide the VFP main screen (the APP or EXE running in development mode can't do this, but you can add
_SCREEN.Visible = .F.
to the Init of your form. Top-Level forms are inherently modeless (IOW they cannot be modal); your startup .PRG should do something along the lines of:
ON SHUTDOWN CLEAR READS
DO FORM MyTopLevelForm
READ EVENTS
ON SHUTDOWN
CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
QUIT
and you can then have the Quit menu/command button of the Top-Level form issue:
CLEAR EVENTS
thisform.Release()
