how styling modal form in MDI application C#

Question

I'm making an MDI application in which I would like to use the StyleManager for the mdi parent and childs. It works fine except for an MDI child called with the `ShowDialog() method. Is there a way to style a modal form the same way as a non-modal form (having the same titlebar, style, color, ...)?

Answer 1

I want the Edit Account form is displayed as the form Manage Accounts. I want to keep the same display style as the main application. in fact I use a stylemanger in the main application.

this.styleManager1.ManagerStyle = DevComponents.DotNetBar.eStyle.Office2016;

this is my code:

public partial class frmMain : RibbonForm
{
   public  frmAccounts fA = new frmAccounts();
   private void btn_accounts_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
     fA.Show();
     fA.MdiParent = this;
   }
}

Result:

public partial class frmAccounts : OfficeForm
{
 private void btn_edit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    frmEditAccount ed = new frmEditAccount();
    ed.EnableCustomStyle = true ;
    DialogResult res =ed.ShowDialog();
    if (res == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
        {
        .....
        ....
    }
 }
}

Result:
