Disable inactive windows flag

[nblackburn]

Code: Select all

#PB_Window_DisableInactive

Adding this flag would disable any previously active windows (cross platform) while this window is shown, when the window is closed, the block is released.

I know this is already possible via other methods but it would make a handy flag to have

If by "block" you mean disabled, then for Windows (not Mac/Linux) you can do this:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0,200,200,200,200,"Blocked",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#WS_DISABLED)
ButtonGadget(0,20,20,100,30,"Try to click me")
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

Note: You'll need to kill this app from the IDE, as the Close button will be blocked.

What is wrong with:
DisableWindow(#Window, State)
HideWindow(#Window, State)

[nblackburn]

Nothing, just an idea I thought that would have been handy to some.

Sounds like you're requesting a modal window? It won't be added as a flag unless
all operating systems support it (that's the general PureBasic request rule). The
good news is that you can create your own modal window as easily as this:
