How do I make a window modal that was opened using Shell Execute? I'm using the following code that I found on VB-World to display a property box for files, but I would like the property window to be modal when it opens up or at least cancel the window when it losses focus. The flag may already be listed in the code and I'm just missing it. Thanks:
