>I thought maybe there was a property of a toolbar that I missed that would make disabling toolbar for a modal form automatic. Just like it works for top menu.
Not that I know of. The least coding, I think, would be hiding the entire toolbar. You might control that on form Activate/Deactivate, in your base classes. For example, in Activate, if ThisForm.WindowState = (modal), hide some toolbars.
