AppProcessMessages in the widgetset to process messages and events for the
form. If an exception occurs, it is caught in the processing loop. If

is called. If CaptureExceptions is not enabled in the application, the
exception is re-raised.

ShowModal sets the value in the ModalResult property to indicate the action

pressed, the form was closed using a window decoration, or the application has
been Terminated.
