You have to decide at the time that you show it. If you want to capture
the state earlier in the program, you can save it in a property of
the form.
if ( bSomeCondition )
{
myForm.ShowItModal = true;
}
else
{
myForm.ShowItModal = false;
}
Then later in the program when you need to show the form you can refer
to the form's property like this:
if ( myForm.ShowItModal )
{
myForm.ShowDialog();
}
else
{
myForm.Show();
}
Just a suggestion.
