2nd form as dialog?

[Jabberwock]

Is it possible to set a 2nd form as a dialog so that the focus remains there until it's closed? like a messagebox

maybe there is a window style that can do that, i didnt find anything that sounds like it in the helpfile but if there is no such style

you could use GuiRegisterMsg() to catch wm_activate and reclaim focus if lost.

Just a thought...

Make the window top-most and lock the mouse within the cooordinates of the window until the close button is pressed

I'm not trying to restrict them to that window only on the system, I'm trying to stop them from doing stuff in form 1 while form 2 is up, like VB you can do load from as dialog.
