There seems to be a bug with the message requesters. They have their own taskbar buttons as well.

Can you try this? (It works on Windows.)

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 512, 384, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 100, 25, "")


Repeat
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      DisableWindow(0, 1)
      OpenWindow(1, 0, 0, 200, 200, "", #PB_Window_WindowCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu, WindowID(0))
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      If EventWindow() = 0
        Break
      ElseIf EventWindow() = 1
        CloseWindow(1)
        DisableWindow(0, 0)
      EndIf
  EndSelect
ForEver

i've already tried to disable window but you can click on the "cross" to close the back window and the message is record in the queue so when you validate the MessageRequester, the back window is closed

I will submit some bug reports. DisableWindow() doesn't work ok on Linux.
