I'm trying to show a form from a plug-in, but when I try to open it I get the error: "Non-modal forms cannot be displayed in this host application from an ActiveX DLL, ActiveX Control, or Property Page".

I'm working in VB.

Any ideas on how to make this happen?

Hello, i have this same problems im trying to load a Form from a UserControl on VB 6, i get
"Run-Tim Error 406

Non-Modal forms cannot be displayed in this host application from an activex dll, activex control, or property page."

now i worked out i could use..

"If App.NonModalAllowed Then
      Form1.Show vbModeless
   Else
      Form1.Show vbModal
End If"

But there s a slight problem when i load the form, i cannot click the user control anymore "UNTIL" the form is closed or unloaded. I need to be able yto because i will be using it as a Chat Window.. So i will need to open it several times using index's if someone can help me to make it show and still be able to click the UserControl i will me much apprciated.

Would you mind posting the answer how you "got it"? I am trying to do something similiar creating a plug-in for ApplicationXtender. I want to create a "Floater" window that will always stay above AX. I am creating a VB6 ActiveX DLL. I get this same error.
