  I created a form and I want it to be modal, so users can't interact to what is behind this form. 
  
  I've already tried to set "FormBorderStyle" to FixedDialog, but I still can interact with contents below this window.
  
  Am I missing something?
  
  Thanks!!

  Hi André,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  The only thing that you have to do in order to show a form as a modal form is to call its ShowDialog method instead of the Show method:
  

  Form1 f = new Form1();

  f.ShowDialog();

  I hope that you find this information helpful.

  All the best,
