Force GUIs

[Absence2]

How do I "force-popup" a gui window in a player's face, then deny their access to press it down with a key? command-wise

This is my GUI window.. no idea what to do from here.

All I found was:

ForcePlayerMap 

Though, I'm not sure if that's right plus no idea how to use it.

myWindow = nil 
pressed = false 
----------------------[KEY BINDS]-------------------- 
function bindKeys() 
    bindKey("F9", "down", F9RPhelp) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), bindKeys) 
  
function resetState() 
    pressed = false 
end 
  
  
---------------------------[HELP]-------------------- 
function F9RPhelp( key, keyState ) 
    if not (pressed) then 
        pressed = true 
        setTimer(resetState, 200, 1) 
        if ( myWindow == nil ) then 
    myWindow = guiCreateWindow(352,185,330,401,"Server Rules", false) 
    local tabPanel = guiCreateTabPanel(9,25,312,367,false, myWindow) 
    local rules = guiCreateTab("Server Rules", tabPanel) 
    local guide = guiCreateTab("Roleplay Guide", tabPanel) 
local help = guiCreateTab("Help", tabPanel) 
local admin = guiCreateTab("Staff List", tabPanel) 
------------------ 
            local xml1 = xmlLoadFile( "rules.xml" ) 
            local contents1 = xmlNodeGetValue( xml1 ) 
            local xml2 = xmlLoadFile( "guide.xml" ) 
            local contents2 = xmlNodeGetValue( xml2 ) 
            local xml3 = xmlLoadFile( "help.xml" ) 
            local contents3 = xmlNodeGetValue( xml3 ) 
            local xml4 = xmlLoadFile( "staff.xml" ) 
            local contents4 = xmlNodeGetValue( xml4 ) 
------------------ 
            guiCreateMemo(0.03,0.03,0.94,0.95,contents1,true,rules) 
            guiCreateMemo(0.03,0.03,0.94,0.95,contents2,true,guide) 
            guiCreateMemo(0.03,0.03,0.94,0.95,contents3,true,help) 
            guiCreateMemo(0.03,0.03,0.94,0.95,contents4,true,admin) 
  
            showCursor ( true ) 
        else 
            destroyElement(myWindow) 
            myWindow = nil 
            showCursor(false) 
        end 
    end 
end 

(The GUI window) but.. then what?

gui window pops up the moment you create/show it. and it cannot be closed with a key, unless this functionality is scripted.

so i dont get the problem.

I'm trying to force a player to "read" it, open it for a specific player via a command then use a timer so they cannot close it until the time is up. (My guiWindow is scripted on F9).

you can call bindKey function from a timer, so it will be bound to window closing after some time, for example.
