Nobody said that the VB-way is the right way. I just provided an 
information how it is done in Visual Basic and asked whether the modal 
mode of windows in Gambas is "normal". The suggested workaround was 
registered - thanks for that.

I tried to find examples under Linux where the size of a modal window 
can be decreased, but I only found one so far in Thunderbird. The others 
could only be increased. So could this be something which has nothing to 
do with Gambas and is depending on the graphical framework or windows 
manager?
