I am checking the status of the process started in the timer.tick handler function.
I also check the status of the process in the timer.tick handler function and depending on status display error message. But this message window is not turning out to be modal. ie. my main form can still be accessed even when the error message box is open.
My code is as below:
Friend
WithEvents myTimer As System.Windows.Forms.TimerPrivate
Function Start_TP1(ByVal svc_name As String, ByVal start_opt As String) As Boolean Dim startProcess As New ProcessstartProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "ntbstart.exe"
startProcess.Start()
myTimer.Start()
End Function
Private Sub myTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles myTimer.Tick
Dim objSC As New ServiceController
If objSC.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) Then
MessageBox.Show(OSSW003(mintLang).Replace(REASON, ERROR_OPENTP1START(mintLang)),TITLE_ERROR(mintLang), MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End If
End Sub
Please give me a solution to make the message box modal or provide some work around.
Message box diplayed in timer.tick handler, not becoming modal

Timer runs in the same thread as the Form main thread..

try the following statement:
::MessageBox(AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd,
"Test",
"Test",
MB_OK | MB_TASKMODAL);

Remember Timers will fire the Timer event for each selected interval regardless of what the application is doing.I think the method Timer1_Tick must have been implemented in a seperate thread and this causes your message box not to block your form.

I guess this is happening because you are calling the messagebox on a seperate process (the thread that you are using). Im not quite sure if this could work but you may try using the Overloads Public Shared Function Show(IWin32Window, String) As DialogResult method of MessageBox. You could try passing your window handle on the first param to ensure that it stays in top of your form...
BTW, this method is noly available in VS2005 Beta 2...
