Modal window not modal

[vertuas]

Hi All,

I have a tokbottomdlg window.

i have okbottomdlg.showmodel in a procedure that is assigned to the event
property of a thread object.

when a given value is passed from the thread, via the event the dialog is
displayed.

However the dialog window is not modal and i can click things on my main
form underneath. which causes the "modal" window to go to the back.

No if i close the dialog, the main from freezes as if there is a model
window open.

Can i not call showmodel from a procedure assigned to an even in a tthread
object?

Do i need to use synchronise from my thread?

Why does my model window not work?

thanks

Vert

Check Help about `thread-safeŽ. The VCL is not thread-safe. Any screen
interaction from a Tthread should be avoided. Your way out is via
Synchronize, placing the screen actions in the main thread.
