    [RESOLVED] MessageBox That Doesn't Pop Up When Outside the Application

    Is there a way to create simple MsgBox objects that don't appear when outside its source application? I encounter this in my app when it is processing data and I wander around windows to do other crap. I'd like the MsgBox that appears when the data crunching is over to not pop up in when I'm doing this other stuff in a different app - I only want to see it when I click back on the it's own window (most likely it's waiting for me).

    I use a custom made message box form as well and this happens when I use the .DoModal function. I don't see a new window created in the taskbar (I believe there's an option to prohibit that), but I do see it pop up exactly as I described above with the simpler MsgBox function when I'm in other apps.

    I want to keep everything tight. My app isn't important enough to bug users doing other stuff.

    Thanks!
