Re: Alt+Tab Icon with modal dialog

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You can mimic modal behavior by disabling all forms that are already
visible in your app and then show your dialog non-modally but with
it's owner set to the form that should own the dialog.

If you need to pause code execution where the dialog is shown, you can
use an API event and enter a DoEvents loop until the event is set in
the unload event of the dialog. For an example procedure, do a Google
search for "showmodal alpine vb -.net"
