By Muhammad Azizul Hakim October 12, 2021

ModalPopupMode or DelphiVCL.Application.ModalPopupMode property controls how the modal form behaves, with respect to Windows’ WS_POPUP style.

Use ModalPopupMode to set the way modal forms behave, with respect to Windows’ WS_POPUP style.

The Possible Values for ModalPopupMode​

The possible values for ModalPopupMode are given in the table below:

Value	Meaning
pmNone	The popup window has the pre-Delphi 8 behavior.
pmAuto	Popup handling is automatic.
pmExplicit	This is used for non-modal design windows, causing the windows to always remain on top of the main form.

Note: When you use a value other than pmNone, you may experience undesired results when you combine a persistent modal form with a parent form that is dynamically created and freed.
