big OK button in msgbox

[Ariel_Z]

What do you mean "waiting after calling the ok panel"? Could you upload your source code? even with a regular MsgBox?

Hi Georg,

The way I see is to have either:
- a full screen size panel with the OK button
- a panel that covers all parts of the screen where the user can do something, in order that the only thing he can do is to press the OK button when the OK Panel is displayed.

Attached a small example.
B1 opens a panel that covers all Buttons and the TextBox
B2 opens a full screnn panel
B3, B4, B5 are just other buttons

Best regards.

Can I just ask if you intend to use the program on the device or is it intended as a desktop only application?

I'm thinking along the lines that you could you Agrahams FormEXDesktop library and a child form which if being shown you program for all other subroutines to ignore click and key presses events etc.

Just an idea.

Attached is a very quick example of what I had in mind (and fortunately you don't need to add any conditional statements to check if the form is being shown as it automatically takes priority).
This is applies only to the desktop though!

Hi RandomCoder,
The example I posted is intended for the device.

On the desktop, as your example shows it, a FormEx can be shown as Modal. This mode doesn't exist on the device, Forms are always full size.

Best regards.

Hi Andrew,
Sorry, I missed your library.
But the Modal mode is not supported on the device.

Best regards.

I tried it but I removed it as it caused several problems, including the app hanging, if the user used a Task Manager to switch to another task and then back. I think that MessageBox, which is modal, on the device is cleverer than it looks and does some things deep in the system to avoid these hangs and to draw itself. For example it's not obvious how it draws the wireframe when it moves, I tried to emulate that but cannot see a way to do it at the moment .
