Mainframe Vista shadow
-
Hello everybody, is it possible to clone the "not-stealing-modus" behaviour of a context-menu? I open a modal dialog in a MDI application. Causing this modal state, the mainframe looses his focus and the shadow at the outer-border reduses to a smaller shadow (in Vista). Is it possible to open a modal dialog and to keep the full-shadow on the mainframe, like it happens to a standard context-menu? Big thanks for any help :) Greetings

This is a function of your Windows Appearance settings. When a modal dialog is opened it becomes the active window, and the owner of the dialog now becomes inactive and its appearance is modified accordingly. I think the only way to change this would be to use custom settings for your windows.
