Delphi: Define FormStyle fsMDIChild or fsNormal at runtime
I have a Vcl.Form that is a MDIChild (FormStyle=fsMDIChild). No I have the requirement that I need this form also as a modal dialog. I tried to change the FormStyle at runtime but that does not work.
In the VCL documentation I found a remark that FormStyle should not be changed at runtime. That's obiously the reason why it doesn't work. A workaround would be to have a copy of that form so that one form has FormStyle=fsNormal and the other FormStyle=fsMDIChild. But this is a maintenance nightmare.
Can somebody help me find a solution to that problem? Maybe someone has a better workaround, etc.?

Dirk.
