Show Method

[Perry]

The Form .Show method has a parameter 'OwnerForm'. I can't seem to find any good documentation on it that makes sense for Modal forms??? The VB documentation uses an example showing a form vbModal! If I use it or not I have not been able to see a difference. For modeless forms OK..it will stay on top of its Owner but what about Modal ones.

Modal:

You have to close the form before you can do anything else

when you "show" a form you can specify the Startupposition of the form, e.g. centerOwner.
By specifying an owner form you can define the owner which is used as a base for centering your form.
