I have made a try at that but wasn't successful but I think I did it on the main form rather than the application level. Thanks, I will try your approach.

So OnDeactivate event of your modal form won't be fired. I think the work around is handling OnDeactivate on application level (i.e. through TApplicationEvents). Then find topmost form of your application and trigger its OnDeactivate event. Note that while I believe this will work, but not tested.
