Unenabling forms

[phreaky]

How do I Unenable an active form?, I mean, theres a Form (Form1) active and when I open another Form(Form2) by an event I want to keep Form1 showed but unclickeable until Form2 has dissapeared.

Try this:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim frm As New Form2()

    frm.ShowDialog(Me)
End Sub

Do you REALLY need to work with a parent form?, why dont you just work with another form and then you call it from your original form1?

Its not necessary but I would like to do it with child and parentforms.

There must be a way to do this but I dont know how.

I have found already a method to get it enabled but this is not the correct solution, because this method only works occacionally.
