blocking of Forms

SkilSiao
SkilSiao over 13 years ago

Hi, I want to create a form (my_form) that after it is displayed, the background functions or other opened forms cannot be activated again until this form (my_form) is closed. (Just like PackStack Editor, once it is opened, the rest of the functions are only available again when PackStack Editor is CLOSED).

my approach (to create) is like this,

my_form = axlFormCreate((gensym) "my_form.form" '("CENTER" "msglines" 1)  'my_form_Action nil nil)

the my_form comes with an "Ok" button to close the form and another action button for some updating tasks, and that is why i need a Callback function 'my_form_Action. The g_nonBlock i leave it as nil as per the description of the function, but this doesnt not seem working... Things are still able to be run with the my_form opened.

How shall go around with this? is there a way to pause everything first until my_form is closed? Thx in advance.

    Hi fxffxf, Thank you very much for the help.

    The function  axlUIWBlock(form_handle) works well.
