private static DialogResult<TForm> ShowForm<TForm>(Form form, bool modelLess) where TForm : Form
{
var retval = new DialogResult<TForm> {DialogResult = DialogResult.No, Form = (TForm) form};

form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent;

if (modelLess)
{
form.MdiParent = MainForm;
if (MainForm == null)
{

form.Size = new Size(700, 590);
}
form.Show();
}
else
{
form.ShowInTaskbar = false;
(new FormSizeManager(form)).LoadFormSize();
form.TopLevel = true;
form.Focus();
retval.DialogResult = form.ShowDialog(MainForm);

//form.BringToFront();
}
return retval;
}
