Hi,

I've been writing an app in visual basic and one of the functions makes another form visible. Is there any way to disable the calling form from receiving any input while this new form is visible (like it does when you have a msgbox on)

Cheers
Rob

Something like that

Haven't done VB in ages, but something like:

Form.Show ShowStyle

Where ShowStyle gives you either a modal or modeless.

I think you need ShowStyle = 1 to make it modal, rather than what you have now which is modeless, which might be ShowStyle = 0, but you don't need it as the default is modeless.

God, hope I have the right. You'll be lucky if it is correct, because my usual answer is "Use Delphi Instead"

Cheers

Who needs to remember whether it's 1 or 0 when you can just use the vbModal constant instead.

True, didn't know that, but I try not to remember too much about these inferior languages

Thanks for that.. I was just using the form.visible flag to turn it on and off.

Cheers
