Cant interact with Main Form of my project
« on: October 09, 2024, 04:14:29 pm »
When I execute my project and the main form creates it does in Modal, basically it is over everything and I cant interact with nothing because it just is locked.

Specifically imagine a settings form of you project, you set it in modal, well there is not another form in my project and it is not seted as modal

P.D: Im really sorry to not proivide code or more information, I deleted the project due frustration before. Luckily it just was a test

You've almost certainly got a tight loop in your main thread, so control is never being passed back to the GUI to keep the form live.

You will need to either work out how to move your computations to a background thread, or to call Application.ProcessMessages every few iterations.

More than that we can't say, because you haven't provided example code, haven't told us what OS you're using, haven't told us what version of Lazarus you're using, haven't told us what version of FPC you're using...

If you isolate the problem and post any code fragments (i.e. rather than appending a .zip etc. to a message), please note the button marked # above the editing pane. If you don't use that to markup your code then important details will get lost since any time the forum software sees [ it will interpret (and remove it) as a formatting tag.

You will need to create a new project and share information IF you’re serious about wanting help  :D

You can interact, but it is probaly not very wise to have a modal dialog on top.
The mainform will accept any messages, though, but the modal dialog will stay until you close it.
probably a misuse of modal or not understanding modal.
