Message Box / Dialogs: How do you do that?!?

How can I create my own dialogs (eg. Mesage box) that halt everything until they're done? I can't figure out how to make a function that only returns to it's calling code once the dialog form is unloaded. And also, how do you disable everything else on the screen so that the user can only click 'OK' on the dialog form or whatever?

open the dialog form with the modal option...

VB Code:

frmMessage.Show vbModal

Ahhhhhhhhhhh thx chrisjk you learn me what modal is today!

Right. Thanks!
So this means that the code after this only runs when the form that was shown is unloaded?

Yep,...here's a quick test you can do

VB Code:

' Form1 Code
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
Form2.Show vbModal
MsgBox "I continued only after form2 was closed"
 
End Sub
