Popup control question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I have a simple vb.net 2005 application with which I want users to inform about system events ! In the case of an event I want a popup control to be displayed !
The popup control should be displayed as long as the user not closes it !

But how can I make my application continue work while the popup is displayed ?

Thanks a lot

	Can't you just use the PopupControl and set ShowDelay to be something very long?

	I don�t think so ! Because the popup in any case should stay displayed until the user closes it. The second reason is that I think my application is busy while a popupwindow is displayed and can�t handle other events in this time !? Thanks

	Ahh yes you'd have to check if the user closed it and then force it re-open.. but the aler t popups should be non-modal...

	AFAIK you don't need to do anything specail to make them non-modal. I just call: spAlertPopup->Show(); And the popup comes up and I can still interact with the application while it's down in the corner.
