A Top-Level form cannot be modal.

>Hi,
>
>I have project where I have a form based class called from a different form via button click. I call it bysetting loForm.ShowOpen(1). My form's ShowWindow is set to 2.
>
>In the beginning I hide the screen. So when I call this new form it flashes and disappears. If I set ShowWindow to 1 It shows up, but it is confined to the borders of the original form which I do not like.

>Any thoughts?
