Hi guys,

I thought that, a Modal form, since it blocks current code, that it would not show in the taskbar, as if it was a no-modal form...
How can I prevent the modal-form from showing in the task bar?

If you had a modal form without a close button and your codes goes wonky, how would the user close it, at least if it's in the taskbar they can right click close it.

Did you set "MainForm.SetOwner()"?
B4X: 
Public Sub Initialize(Owner As Form)
    MainForm.Initialize("MainForm", 200, 200)
    MainForm.SetOwner(Owner)
    MainForm.BackColor = fx.Colors.Transparent
    MainForm.SetFormStyle("TRANSPARENT")
    MainForm.RootPane.Style = $"-fx-background-color:red;-fx-background-radius:48px;"$
    MainForm.RootPane.MouseCursor = fx.Cursors.HAND

    Dim btn As Button
    btn.Initialize("btn")
    btn.Text = $"Close modal form"$
    MainForm.RootPane.AddNode(btn, 25, 25, -1, -1)

    MainForm.ShowAndWait  
End Sub

in the example that I provide it works with a transparent window, and doesn't show up in the taskbar.

I also provided the code to make the window draggable.
