Pause a sub till certain button click on new form

[Ragnarox]

Hello all,

I have a program that needs to open a second form in some cases. When this second form opens I want to suspend the processing of the sub that called the second form until 1 of 2 items are clicked (out of a possible four items to click), then return the focus to the calling sub. So basically I want to have this call to the second form work like the MessageBox.show works. I have no clue though on how to get this done.

I thought that by making it a child of my parent form that would work but it does not. I have tried to create a pausing loop but that just locks up my system. I have also looked into the second form causing a validation but can not figure out how that works.

Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

show 2nd form with ShowDialog method. Execution will resume in sub after 2nd form is hidden or closed.

John,

I tried the show dialog but because this form is a child form it will not work. Not hard to remove the child line but how would I do this with the form being a child?

Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.
