I want to generate a MODAL window with the openwindow-statement.
There there any other statement to make the window modal.
Or how can I use the WinAPI to make the window modal?

After you opened a modal dialog window, you are NOT able to do anything within the main window of the application. To get again the focus of the main window, you first have to close the modal dialog window.

possible this is what you want:

setwindowpos_(windowID,#HWND_TOPMOST,x,y,width,height,#SWP_NOMOVE)

the last flag can specifie some settings to the window eg no move here. There are many other flags in the API documented. take a look there, possible you will find what you need.

H0pe that helps

You could use the API 'EnableWindow' on the Main Window

You can use SetParent_(modalwindowid, mainwindowid), if that's what you're trying to do.
