    Resolved [RESOLVED] Dialog

    This is a hard one to explain. I have the main form (Form1) and a button on there that opens a different form (form2) what i need is a code that wont allow the user to use form1 while form 2 is open. So if they try to click on form1 nothing will happen. like if you have a messagebox and you try to click around it the message box will not go away.

    this is the best I can explain it. Please help!
    Hello, Im a complete beginner so I if I ask obvious questions don't laugh. I have had no special training and I thought I'd learn and I thought this is the best place to start.

    I started off using VB 6.0 but when I bought a new computer I decided to upgrade to VB 2005, so its a little bit different to what i'm used to

    VB Code:
    1. Form2.Show vbModal
    When Form2 is unloaded, Form1 is again fully enabled.
    Use [CODE] tags and rate useful posts

    VB: MSDN VBnet DevX vbAccelerator
    DB: W3Schools SQL TechOnTheNet's Oracle/PLSQL ConnectionStrings
    Misc (IT): Use XP look (manifest) in your apps (sample) MZ-Tools (free and cool VB add-in) Deploy your apps with Inno Setup
    Misc: Zeitgeist Movie

    ... so make the best of this test and don't ask why, it's not a question, but a lesson learned in time...

    I should not have included the comma.
