Hello,

I have COM addin that displays a modeless form. When the user makes
certain selections, the modeless form is hidden and a modal form is
displayed.

Unfortunately, the modal form is behaving as modeless!

>From within VBA, the above scenario works perfectly.

I will also add that the forms are displayed on top of the parent
application using the SetWindowLong API.

Any advice?

Thanks & Regards,

TC
