Modal Window Problem

I have 2 windows. I open the second window from the first window with ShowDialog(). The problem is that when I minimize the first window (the second one is not closed yet) and after that I maximize the first window.., the second window disappeared and the first window is not accessible. I have to search it with Alt-Tab. I think that I miss something.

Thanks

How were you able to minimize the first window before closing the second window, which should be thread modal at this point.

Can you share your repro? Thanks.

Yep, it's not about minimizing. I just activate other window (like IE). When I come back to my application... I see the second window in task bar but it's not activated even if it is a modal form.

How did you go back to your application? I noticed that if I click on the first window (non-dialog) while IE window is currently active, it gets brought to the foreground. Is this the problem you are seeing? Thanks.

The scenario, you explain, seemed a bit strange for me, but try to set Owner property of child window to the parent window and tell if it'll help

Yes, after I set the Owner it's working fine. Bizzare....
