We have a project at work that uses a parent form to open child forms inside.
So we have to use form.show and not showdialog,but certain code after some of the form.show's must'n execute until the child forms closes.
Is there a way to do this without using showdialog ?

Thanx so long

No. Show starts the process of opening the dialog and returns immediately - before the dialog window is even visible.

If you want to prevent further actions, then you will need to implement that manually, probably using the child form FormClosing event to detect when the user is finished with it.

ShowDialog would be a lot easier...:laugh:
