But this is not a bug.
And Delphi docs, IMHO are not making a 100% clear statement about this.
It is a bug considering that both Delphi and Lazarus docs are clear
about it: ShowModal does not return until the form is closed.
That's not the point
The point is: Close <> Destroy
In fact, with modal active close does hide the form (and sets modal
result)
Closing a modal form hides it indeed, sets ModalResult, and makes
ShowModal exit. Hiding is just one step of modal form closing.
In anyway it does not say "until the method close is called".
It says "form is closed" never mind how it is closed
Correct
"closing a form" is not the same as "calling close()"
"calling close()" is only one of many ways to "close a form".
e.g during Modal, you can set ModalResult.
OK
Depending on close the property CloseAction = caHide, a call to
Close(), does in the end actually call Hide (or set Visible=False).
The call to Close can (optional) destroy the form. But the actual
closing is done by making it invisible.
So who says, that calling Hide() is not a way of closing the form?
Try applying the same logic with CloseAction = caNone ;)
Furthermore, Hide() does not trigger the OnCloseQuery and OnClose events.
It does the same thing. (the 2 calls have different additional side
effects, but that is a different story)
<joking mode on> Pulling off the computer's power plug is yet another
way of closing a form with different side effects<joking mode off>
Finally, the force (Delphi) is not on your side :D
