Problem:How could I show dialog before current window?

Mark Chen

When I use form's ShowDialog() , sometime the dialog could be hidden by current window , how could I solve this problem , thanks very much !

_frmMessage.dShowMode = 1; //show confirm
   _frmMessage.Activate();
   DialogResult dr = _frmMessage.ShowDialog();
   _frmMessage.Visible = false;

Just change "DialogResult dr = _frmMessage.ShowDialog();" to "DialogResult dr = _frmMessage.ShowDialog(frmMessage.ActiveForm);" , the dialog will show before any current form forever , thanks !

Who and what triggers the dialog to be hidden? ShowDialog() opens the form in modal mode, meaning you can't access the calling (current) window. ShowDialog() is also a blocking call, meaning you can't get past DialogResult dr = _frmMessage.ShowDialog(); unless _frmMessage is closed.

Try considering using Show() instead.
