PRB: Modal Forms From ActiveX Docs or Controls Don't Disable IE4

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create an ActiveX Document EXE Project in Visual Basic 6.0.
2. Add a form (Form1) to the project.
3. Insert a command button (Command1) on the UserDocument.
4. Write code for the Command1 Click event:

   Private Sub Command1_Click()
      Form1.Show vbModal
   End Sub
   						

5. Run the project and load the .vbd file in Internet Explorer 4.x.
6. Click the button on the UserDocument to show the form.

You will see that the UserDocument is disabled but Internet Explorer window is not disabled. Internet Explorer menus and toolbars (including address bar) still work even when a Modal form is displayed.

If a modal form is displayed from an ActiveX control hosted in Internet Explorer, there is an additional implication. Your control may be getting Resize and Show events even when the control has displayed a modal form.
