VB6 calling modal .net dialog
Folks, I have a working .NET Form that runs fine as a modal dialog in managed apps, it's used to pick an item from a list and it returns the Int32 Id of the selected item. Now I have to make this dialog available to VB6. I've done plenty of Interop before to wrap managed library methods as ComVisible, but this is the first time I've tried this with a Window.Forms class. I presume the VB6 caller can only pass me a HWND, so I ran a few experiments to see if I could convert a HWND from an NUnit test to an Owner of my dialog, but I can't figure that out. I then tried HWND to NativeWindow to ShowDialog(owner) on the caller side, but it doesn't run modal. It's not looking good so far. I have a feeling I'm heading into a world of pain trying make the modal behaviour work with a VB6 caller. I can't get any definitive advice from web searches so far, so I thought I'd ask first to see if anyone has been there before. Greg
RE: VB6 calling modal .net dialog
Why not just manually disable the parent form while the dialog is visible? That's pretty much all a modal dialog is really doing anyway. If that's not enough, the SetParent win32 api function may also help.

Re: VB6 calling modal .net dialog
Quite some time ago I played around with porting a VB6 app to .NET. It was
too large to do it all at once so I had to look at using .NET for new stuff
and using interop. It was an internal app and so in the end it didn't have
enough time budgeted to do the work, but I seem to recall modal dialogs
being a rather large stumbling block (brick wall?).
If I understand your scenario correctly, there may be hope. I have a .NET
app where I set the main form's owner to a window from another process
using a HWND.
The first step is to implement System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window:
public class Win32Window : IWin32Window
{
public Win32Window(IntPtr handle)
{
this.Handle = handle;
}
public IntPtr Handle { get; private set; }
}
Then once you have your HWND in an IntPtr you could do something like:
var owner = new Win32Window(hwnd);
myForm.ShowDialog(owner);
Maybe this will work in your scenario.

RE: VB6 calling modal .net dialog
Matt, I tried something similar with an nunit test, like this: IntPtr hwnd = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle; var win = new NativeWindow(); win.AssignHandle(hwnd); var picker = new MyPicker(); var result = picker.ShowDialog(win); I was hoping that this would set the nunit app window to be the owner of the ShowDialog, but sadly two things go wrong: (1) It's not modal, but that might be a quirk with using the nunit window (2) The dialog doesn't appear in the CenterParent position, it goes to screen top-left. Greg
Re: VB6 calling modal .net dialog
Sorry, I missed the NativeWindow bit. I have some other code for doing this (my scenario, native window, out of process) with WPF windows which is a little different and uses WindowInteropHelper and the SetWindowLong Win32 API function (because using just WindowInteropHelper doesn't give modal behaviour). I'm not sure why my code uses SetWindowLong instead of SetParent like Nathan suggested.

Or we-write the vb6 stuff in .net :) My colleague has decided to write the picker UI in VB6 and all the data stuff will be in a .NET DLL with an Interop wrapper. The lesson from this is that VB6-.NET Interop of library code is not too hard, but doing so with Forms/dialogs is very hard to improbable. I haven't tried wrapping .NET Controls as ActiveX for VB6 to consume, I almost did a few weeks ago and then remembered all the registering of COM and the install footprint and I abandoned the idea.
