1. You know when you exit, it returns a code:

1 = Failed

0 = Succeeded

Is it possible to set custom exit return string e.g. = "Script worked perfectly"?

2. Can i disable the parent window while focused on child window?

From this FAQ: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37289

Q18. Why isn't my thread getting any replies?

A1. Did you give a good description of the problem? If your title or explanation of the issue is not descriptive, users are likely to bypass your issue instead of helping. Post titles such as "Help Me", "I Have A Problem", "Question", "Help me fix my code", "This code doesn't work" or similarly worded question titles will not readily draw forum users to your post. Experienced users (which are your best hope of resolving the issue) will often skip your post altogether in cases like this. An example of a post title descriptive enough to attract users to assist you is "Problem with WinWaitClose", or "Loop never ends".

A2. Did you post example code? If you have not posted an example of the code you are having an issue with, then you will not recieve support. When posting a non-working script, please do so in the smallest amount of stand-alone code possible. If the code you post cannot run by itself on another person's computer, they will not be able to recreate the issue.

2. Can i disable the parent window while focused on child window?

Perhaps some clarity on one point would help: You 'return' from a function, and 'exit' from the script. With that in mind:

1. Script exit codes can only be numbers, not strings. The kind of thing a DOS batch file can test for with %ERRORLEVEL%.

Fuctions, on the other hand, can return almost any single object. A number, a string, and array, etc.

2. Have you written a short script that creates a basic parent and child window, then tried it...? People bend over backwards on this forum to help you learn to do something for yourself. But "...write an example for me please" almost never works. Write your own example, post it even if it doesn't work. Then you'll get lots of help fixing it and learn it in the process.
