[DUG] Closing a modal form from code in it

[Alistair Ward]

Have you tried setting modalResult?

The usual way of closing a modal dialog is:

modalResult := mrOK;

somewhere in an event handler.

This is checked (from long ago memory) after most event handlers. The
exception (I think, from the same vague memories) is the FormShow event
itself.

Cheers,
Alistair.
