How to make a modal dialog?

['LinKin]

Hello,

Do you know what a modal dialog is?

- In Java, a modal dialog is the one which does't allow the user to click on the windows form the back.

I want to do this with MTA GUI. I was taking a look at this resource: msgbox. But sadly, that only makes a confirm dialog, and that's not what I need. I need to display a window where the client inputs some text.

In msgbox resource, there's something called forceShowing which is making the window behave like a modal dialog. But there's something that I don't understand... How is it working?

I got this piece of code:

if ( forceShowing ) then 
        cover = guiCreateButton ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true ) 
        guiSetAlpha ( cover, 0 ) 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", cover, bringMsgBoxToFront ) 
end 

Is that button occuping the whole screen?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it is a dialogBox, showing a 'loading', or a message whenever you're doing something in the background of another thread. right?

To actually do this, you can achieve this by creating a small new window with the required things on it and toggle its visibility. I'm just not quite sure how to make it unable to click back to the other one. you can disable the onClientClick when the dialog is active, maybe that's a thing ( cancelEvent() ).

No.

Anyway, I've already done it. Just use this code:

if ( forceShowing ) then

cover = guiCreateButton ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true )

guiSetAlpha ( cover, 0 )

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", cover, bringMsgBoxToFront )

end

And some logic
