you could disable it... winsetstate($gui,"",@SW_DISABLE) i think...

[death pax]

i tried that, but then it didnt show up at all

Edit: er it didnt do anything, the gui still is still becoming active

ok heres the deal. i have an overlay that is being displayed over a fullscreen game. however when the game looses focus while in fullscreen, opengl crashes. so to avoid that i want to keep my overlay from getting focus

are you able to run the game in windowed mode?

Don't you think it would be more beneficial to at least post your gui source?

Edit:

Here's a stab at it, since there is no source, no game mentioned, no example.

#include <guiconstants.au3>
$main = GUICreate('test', 200, 100)
$b = GUICtrlCreateButton('testb', 70, 35, 60, 30, $WS_DISABLED)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = - 3
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN
            GUICtrlSetState($b, $GUI_DISABLE); just to show that you can actually disable other controls with primary button clicked
            ContinueLoop
        Case $msg = $b
            MsgBox(0, 'oops', ''); should never get this
    EndSelect
    Sleep(10)
WEnd
