Why? The reason for using a modeless dialog is so that the parent window remains active. If you want the parent to be disabled then use a modal dialog instead.

I think this is the solution.

Possibly, but I'm not totally sure of what the OP is trying to achieve. As with so many questions we may never know. :(

Agree with you Mac

agreed with mac! if you want to disable your parent window, when your child form is active you should use model dialog!
