Form on another form

[GeGeek]

If I have my main window open and I open another form on top of that, to prevent the form from underneath being touched I used to use for example

Form10.ShowDialog(Me)

but now I can't seem to use that, what do I use now?

ShowDialog() is correct its just your way of using it thats wrong.

What you should be doing is in the Main Form calling your pop-up form like this - (assuming the name of you second form is FrmPopup)

Dim frm As New FrmPopup
frm.ShowDialog()

You can still use that same code in most cases. That said, specifying an owner for a modal dialogue is rather pointless. Are you doing it just because or does it offer some advantage that I'm not able to fathom right now? Also, you will only be able to use the default instance of a form class if it has a default instance, which will not be the case if it has no parameterless constructor. I would tend to recommend that people not use default instances at all but I'd also recommend that they understand what a default instance is and why they would or wouldn't use one.

Wait a sec, this is now my own fault after realizing the major boo boo I have done, here is me thinking why is none of this working, then takes a closer look at the vb form, its not vb its cs
