I was just wondering if there is a way to dim the screen and show a form which is not dimmed (eg. Vista/7 UAC prompts)? If so, how would i be able to it?

Never thought how to do that...
But you can try to create a fullscreen form without borders with opacity at 50% for example, and put a normal form in top of this...
Just what i was thinking..
If anyone has a more practical way of doing this, please post.
try this
There's nothing impractical about mickey_pt's way of doing it. There's only one detail I would add: set the top form's Owner property to the fullscreen form. Then it will work perfectly.

You guys have some cool stuff ... I'm impressed!
There's nothing like having so many minds working on a single problem, and coming up with multiple solutions and/or improvements.
I'm glad I found this forum ... I've been programming for over 40 years, and still have a lot to learn! :)
This (2009) is my 40th year also. My first computer didn't even have a disk or tape drive, all cards. It seems that the only thing I have truly learned in all that time is that I don't know much.Quote:
