    <p>How can I have a black form as a background and some modal forms opened one at a time whose owner is the black form? I need these two to retain their order together (when minimized and maximized) that's why I have chosen the modal form. </p> <p>I have made a simple main form with black background, and opened a form in dialog (modal) form. The main form provides a black background for me and the modal form stays in front of the black background. But when opening new forms, I can't set the owner of new modal form to the aforementioned black form. I have tried passing the black form object and also registering events to no avail.</p> <p>Do you know any mechanism to implement the following scenario:</p> <p>A black form as a background and a series of modal forms opened one at a time in front of the black one in a way that the black form is the owner of every modal form.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>Please consider this scenario: I have 3 forms named <strong>frmBlack</strong>, <strong>Form1</strong> and <strong>Form2</strong>. I use <strong>frmBlack</strong> as the <strong>main blacked form</strong>. After placing a button on this form I call the Form1Object.ShowDialog(this). Now suppose that I want to navigate to the third form (Form2), [this means that I must close the Form1Object] I put a button on the second form (Form1) and when this button is pressed I must close the Form1 object and navigate to the Form2Object while its owner in the ShowDialog() function must be set to frmBlack.</p>

    1. COMaking them modal with ShowDialog(owner) doesn't make much sense. Just use Show(owner) instead.

    2. COIt does no make it modal, I need the two to stick together! I may try a simple demo later to clarify my need.

    3. COAn owned non-modal window is always displayed on top of the owner. That's as sticky as you should need. If you want it *confined* to the owner as well then you need MDI.
