In Windows Mobile, if I do a call to Show rather than ShowDialog I will get a modeless dialog box.

If that modeless dialog fills the whole screen, is there a way to switch out to a different screen? (Kind of like Alt + Tab in windows).

I need to make sure that the modeless screen is locked in place till the OK in the upper right corner is pressed or a menu item that I have made. (To see why I need to do this see this question and this answer.)

Does any one know a way to switch modeless screens with out closing the screen (so I can stop it)? (Once it closes I can take care of it.)

They can use the hardware buttons (quick launch, voice recorder, etc) buttons to change apps, which would bring another Form forward, but they can do that even with a modal dialog up.

"Switching" screens should be as simple as calling Show on the one you want brought to the fore.

  • Sounds good. I just wanted to make sure that there was not some way to move between open modeless dialogs in an app. – Vaccano Jul 01 '10 at 15:29
