subject: Modal MDI child forms

Hello Martin,
28 Jul 97 18:59, Martin Maat scrawled to David Mason:
 DM>> Can anyone tell me how to make a modal MDI child form in
 DM>> Delphi 2?
 MM> No. Because there is no point. Not only that, an MDI child is by
 MM> definition _not_ modal.
Right, I can see your point. It was a bit daft of me to ask
that! I simply wanted a window to pop up that the user has
to fill in.
 DM>> So far my attempts have either crashed Delphi or just
 DM>> displayed the form as modeless.
 MM> Good. Serves you right, messing with Window's conventions.
I've decided to use a 'normal' modal window that appears
over the top of the MDI interface. This should be a more
standard method than what I was trying to do before!
Dave.
