If an "in top level" .scx form is set as Modeless at design-time, I've
found it can be opened with DO FORM xxx, and then if you set its .Visible
property to .F., you can change its WindowType to Modal and then call its
Show() method to re-display it (if you just run the form and then call its
Hide(), then try to make it Modal, you'll get an error message saying
something like a "visible form" window type can't be changed--even though
Hide(), one would expect, would set the form's .Visible to .F..)
I haven't tried starting a form as Modal and then making it Modeless;
obviously you could only do that from a mechanism inside the form, which
might be do-able.
I seem to recall that an "in top level" .vcx form's WindowType property can
be set via a parm passed to Init() when you run it without a problem.

I have a set of forms that sometimes I want to be modal (when the form
passing parameters to and from other forms) and other times I want to be
modeless.
Anyone got a solution without duplicating the for in Modal and modeless
copies?
I've tried the Form.Show(1) or form.show(2) in the init() of the form but
it totally screws up the ReadEvents of VFP and crashes the system
