Displays the dialog modally.

Return Value

Description
Call ShowModal when you want to display the dialog modally. When a dialog is displayed modally, you cannot interact with it directly. To update the properties of the dialog, create an event handler for the OnProgress event and perform any necessary updates within it. For example, you can change Min, Max or Position to update the progress bar, Text and Caption to update the visual cues or Image to create a simulation of an animation.
Use ShowModal when the process is performed in its own thread or when the process is suitable to be performed in short intervals (like attempting to connect to a service). If the process is time-intensive and executed within the main thread, consider using Show instead.
