"Modal" means that the window takes all the mouse and keyboard events of 
the application (it has its own event loop).

A window cannot be closed if there is a "child" modal window open. The 
modal window must be closed first.

As for your history about Form_KeyRelease, I don't understand what you 
are talking about. Please be more descriptive.
