title: How to setup the application so that the users can use the parent and child forms simultaneously?
body: <p>I'm developing a VisualBasic 2010 application. During run-time, I've noticed that whenever the main form opens any child dialogues, forms, messageboxes, prompts etc, said main form or parent stops being accessible / clickable.</p>
  
  <p>I can see the value and logic for that in most cases but there are couple of child forms that I need to use while leaving the main form still usable. I don't want to use MDI because from what I've seen, MDI forms all spawn in the same window and it's not something I'd want do. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if there is a way to setup the VB.net application so that the application user can use the parent and said child forms simultaneously? </p>
