BUG: FormExtender problem with modal form

Hello, all

I'm using form extender to save / restore placement of my forms. But, I have a problem with modal forms: I get the error

"Form is already displayed, can't show modally"

To test, simply add two forms (Form1, Form2), and add FormExtender (frmExt) to Form2, using:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    frmExt.RestorePlacement "TMP", "tmp", "tmp"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    frmExt.SavePlacement "TMP", "tmp", "tmp"
End Sub

Now, from Form1 call Form2 modally:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Form2.Show vbModal, Me
End Sub


This works the first time (i.e. when RestorePlacement has no saved position in it), but it fails on the second click (i.e. after saving the placement).

Any help would be grealtly appreciated.

Thanks
Marco

Hi Aaron,

thanks for the reply.
Actually, I found out that placing the RestorePlacement in the Form2 Form_Activate event works, but I can see the form "flicker", since it is shown for one instant in the "old" position, then restored to the correct one...

I hopw CJ will come out with a fix for this (should I point out this to the support team, opening a new ticket?)

Thanks again
Marco
