Folks,

I'm stuck on a problem at the moment where I'm displaying a modal warning screen to users based on data gathered from a database table. A query is kicked off by a timer event firing at regular intervals, and if some data is out of bounds the warning screen is displayed to the user.

The problem I am having arises from using a pop-up\context menu in the app which is launched when the user right clicks on, for example, a list view or tree view etc.

However, within my main project everything works ok, but I have other components used in my app which are dll components and when I call the popup menu within these applications and the warning screen appears at the same time, the application appears to freeze. But, clicking on the application in the task bar, seems to return control to the application and the application becomes usable again.

Also, the forms within the application are MDI child forms(obviously apart from the modal warning form), the Dll forms are not .

Has anyone encountered a problem like this? Does anyone know how to work around this?

All advice and help is gratefully received - thanks in advance!
