So, is it a not reported Delphi bug? > Delphi forms aren't dialogs. They use a sort of "fake" modal state by > disabling all other windows in the program and then re-enabling them > when the "dialog" closes. Real dialog boxes use some other method. > > When the dialog box flashes, it tells the user which window requires > attention before the program can continue. It tells the user which > "mode" the program is in -- message-box mode, options mode, print-setup > mode, etc. Compare that with Delphi forms. Nothing flashes; the screen > remains unchanged. The user is left wondering what's wrong. > > -- > Rob
