    Fixed focus on dialog

    Is there a way to force the user to close, or finish with a dialog before they can continue using the application? i.e. they cannot click anywhere else in the application. If they do the dialog stay put and nothing happens.

    Thank You

    Yes, I think it's called a model dialog.

    Modal dialog. You create one by calling DialogBox(Indirect||Param).

    yeah. i've changed the system modal value to true. now when i click on windows and dialogs in the background nothing happens, which is good. But I am still allowed to use the oringinal window from where the modal dialog came from. Can i disable this?

    Thank You

    System modal? You've done something wrong.

    I think you're not passing the parent window to DialogBox.
