There's no such thing as a System Modal dialog anymore. Why? Because you're taking away the users ability to switch to other tasks if required.

How I've seen something like that done in the (recent) past is the app created a new Desktop, switched to it, showed a normal window in that desktop, then proceed as normal. When the dialog was dismissed, the new Desktop was removed, switching back to the original user desktop.

BTW, this is actually how the UAC nag dialog works in Vista and 7. The darkened desktop image that you see is merely a screenshot of the user desktop copied to the new desktop.

Since you're using a seperate desktop, there's nothing else for the user to click on, effectively making your form "modal".

You can find a nice example of creating Desktops here[^].
