Lock a Window / MsgBox


 Share

Recommended Posts

hi,

sorry for wasting your time, but my research was not succesfull again:

my homemade error message can easily be swapped to the background with activating a windows in the back!

MsgBox(17, "Fatal Error: 0x81020014", "Call to undefined function: add_ctext()", 0)

how can the messagebox be active all the time - my idea: a loop with WinActive/WinActivate-function

WinActivate ( "title" [, "text"] )
but my obstacle what "title" for the messagebox? there is certainly an easier way...

;) thx

bambamfox,

Add 262144 to the 17 you already have as the "flag" parameter of your MsgBox line. Adding this value keeps the MsgBox on top of all other windows until it is clicked. Read the Help file page for MsgBox for more details on what the various "flag" parameter values can do. ;)

You should use the handle parameter of Msgbox() to specify the parent window. If you do this, the OS will lock the parent GUI and when the parent GUI is clicked, it will make a bing noise and flash the Msgbox.

MsgBox(262161, "Fatal Error: 0x81020014", "Call to undefined function: add_ctext()", 0, $h_GUI)
