What is the difference between modal and moduless window?

Answer Posted / anand shanbhag

If the form is modal then you are not allowed to edit
anything in the parent form.
E.g. In MS-word if you select "Save As" menu then you have
to close the "Save As" window in order to go back to the
word document.

If the form is modeless, you are allowed to use/edit the
newly created form and the parent form.
E.g. "Find and Replace" window in the MS-word. You can edit
in the word document without closing "Find and Replace" window.
