Quick (Stoopid) Question

Hey, i'm having a really stoopid day today, can't think of the name of something. What i have is a form, i want to create a new one, that does not show up in the task bar and which you must use and finish with before returning to the original form...


I think it might be something like a modal frame thing, tried that but didn't 100% work - it took over control from the first window, but it still showed up in the task bar. (I'm using C# by the way)

I would have thought "modal dialog" is the phrase you're looking for?

Definatley modal.

ok, using C# what i do when a certain button is clicked:

     MyForm theForm = new MyForm();
     theForm.ShowDialog();

And it works as a modal type thing (as in i can't get at the original form until the new form is closed) but it still shows up in the task bar... Is there a way to get rid of this?

Forms in C# have a ShowInTaskBar property.
