Determin if a form is being displayed modally?

Hong Kong Phooey · Nov 1, 2005

How can I determine if a form is being displayed as a modal dialog
programatically?

I have a form which may be used either way in the application. If shown
modally using ShowDialog(), all the regular caveats apply (ESC=Cancel,
ENTER=OK, AcceptButton, CancelButton), but when simply shown using Show(),
none of those apply and the user must click the 'X' in the ControlBox.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the "Modal" property of the form.
