MDI child windows cannot be shown modally by doing this :

Form1.Show vbModal

You'll have to use some sort of logic in perhaps the Activated / deactivated events

This has been already mentioned multiple times:
A modal MDI child window would be a contradiction in terms. An MDI child is always meant to be a window which is a sibling to other child windows with equal rights. It cannot be shown modal.

However if you need to show a modal window, you can always add a normal Form to your project and show it modal at any time. You can compute the starting position from your MDI parent window to be sure the modal window appears at the position you want it to be.
