Click outside form

Hans Ruck

Hi, From the main form of a Windows application I am creating a modal dialog (using ShowDialog). Is there any way I can detect when the user clicks outside the child form? It flashes a bit so I think it should have some sort of event behind. I have intercepted Deactivate but it seems that it's not the one.

AFAIK, you can't. This is the way modal dialogs works. Why do you want this ?

I want to destroy the child. I have tried by calling the Show method but it fails when a modal child creates a modeless child and the user clicks on the main form :(

Child ? Do you mean the modal window ? and you want the control back to Parent window ? Why don't you have a close button for your child ?

No, the configuration is: main form -> modal child -> modeless child, and I am clicking outside the modeless, outside the modal, and inside the main form. I would like to intercept the click and make the modeless disappear. It's a kind of tooltip :)
