Delphi onshow main form / modal form

Question

I have a project which has a main form and some other forms. When the app loads it needs to carry out some tasks and show the results in a modal form on top of the main form. T

Answer 1

Why dont you use the MainForm OnActivate event like so?

procedure TMyMainForm.FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  //Only execute this event once ...
  OnActivate := nil;

  //and then using the code David Heffernan offered ...
  with TMyOtherForm.Create(nil) do begin
    try
      ShowModal;
    finally
      Free;
    end;
end;

Setting the event to nil will ensure that this code is only run once, at startup.
