Blurring a windows form when another modal form is open.

[meisenstein]

Hi All

Does anyone have an example or know of where I can find information on how to do this.

I have a form which links to another form which then opens modally. I would like to somehow create a blurred effect on the form which called the open command on the second form. I have seen this used on various systems to good effect and was wondering if anyone knew where I could start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S I don't want to blur a bitmap, I want to blur the entire form including the controls on the form.

You can simply set Enabled property (of form) to False before displaying the dialog and True again after dialog is dismissed.
