"Somewhere.." - oh, strange grammar isn't it ;-)? I used WinDisableWindow
where I implemented an own kind of modal window and disabled the
background window, so it would not react on taps and reset the origin of
the coordinate system (buttons of the foreground window do not react
anymore, but areas on the bg win with same relative position do the
buttons' job). WinDisableWindow was an elegant and well working solution
for that, but the way you recommended works very fine as well. Thanks.
