How the main window be set to unaccessable if the msgbox doesn't input and close yet.

[jackylee0908]

Hi sir,

I'd like to operator to input the msgbox first(i.e. click Yes or No button and then the msgbox window closed), then back to main window to continue the process, I understand I can let the msgbox on top from the main window as below code, but the operator still able to mouse click on the main window and do other functions that offered from main window, prior to the msgbox is been input.

MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Notice", "Example message!")

So I need your help to advise how to set the main window unaccessable when a msgbox is pop out and until a msgbox is input and closed then the main window back to accessable.

Thanks,

Jacky

Hi jackylee0908
Look at MsgBox in the help file, 4th and 5th parameter.
After that, I'm sure you'll know how to do it

Tried but still cannot work.

MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Notice", "Example message!", HWnd)
MsgBox($MB_SETFOREGROUND, "Notice", "Example message!")

The back main window still is accessable.

Do you mind to let me know which is 4th and 5th parameter?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 400, 200)
$idButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 80, 80, 80, 30)
$idButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 2", 220, 80, 80, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop

        Case $idButton1
            MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Button 1 clicked", _
                "You cannot do anything with main window", 0, $hGUI) ; <===========

        Case $idButton2
            ConsoleWrite("You clicked button 2" & @crlf)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
GUIDelete($hGUI)
