how to make a form disable the way like a messagebox disables its main form?

Question

how to make a form disable the way like a messagebox disables its main form?

I am using visual basic 6.0 yet i want to create a custom-made message box for designs.

Answer 1

for example:

If you want to disable form1 when you show form2, do this code

Private Sub Anything()
'Wherein anything is a procedure that will open form2
form2.show vbmodal
'or maybe form2.show vbmodal, me
End Sub

Try this and know it works! ^_^ Belive me :D

Answer 2

It's called a modal form. Look it up in the help of whatever language you are using.

In Delphi for example, use

childForm.ShowModal;

instead of

childForm.Show;
