[DUG]: MDI Forms and Showmodal Hassles

[Darren Bilby]

Okay, this is probably a stupid newbie question but I can't find an answer
for it.

I've got a MDI application running with a few MDI child forms maximised, I
need a modal box to appear and then simply return. I basically just create
the form then do a showmodal on it:

Application.Createform(TChProdHistory, ChProdHistory);
if (ChProdHistory.Showmodal = 1) then dostuff;

so basically how I see it, it should show the form then return

The problem is that when the form is created the currently open MDI Child
forms all get 'restored' to a non maximised state which looks really ugly.
I'm just unsure as to why the creating a non-MDI form (ie formstyle :=
fsNormal) is forcing the all the MDI child forms to resize...

Any words of wisdom?
