Aaron. RE: show a modal form and process messages. then you can access whatever methods you want on the main form from the dialog. I don't have Delphi on this machine so, unfortunately I can't post a code sample Hope this helps . RE: show Delphi XE5 Anonymous ShowModal and Android Wouter, the code works with no memory leak. On Windows and Mac (non-ARC), the DisposeOf method calls Free, which in turn calls Destroy. On iOS and Android (ARC) DisposeOf forces the destruction even if there are still pending references. Plans for ARC in the Win32 compiler are being discussed internally. In Delphi (as in Windows), you can have modeless dialog boxes and modal forms. You must consider two different elements: The form's border and its user interface determine whether it looks like a dialog box; the use of two different methods ( Show and ShowModal) to display the secondary form determines its behavior (modeless or modal). RE: Modal form hides behind other window. VintageWine (IS/IT--Management) 13 Feb 04 03:34. You could try this. In the main app, keep a note of the modal form's handle. In some OnAppShow event post (not send) a message to the. modal form, like: PostMessage (ModalFormHandle,WM_MYSHOW,0,0); In the modal form handle the message like: Birth. OnCreate. The OnCreate event is fired when a TForm is first created, that is, only once. The statement responsible for creating the form is in the project's source (if the form is set to be automatically created by the project). When a form is being created and its Visible property is True, the following events occur in the order listed Next we need to add the form into the project, so save the form with a relevant name (I used DllForm) and add it into the project using File - Add To Project in the displayed dialog box selected your newly saved form (DllForm.pas) We now have a simple DLL which contains a form but at present there is no to call the DLL or display the form.

Show and ShowModal set automatically Visible to true and you can't set Visible to false in both OnShow and OnHide (as well as OnActivate)
