Is there a way to create a "real" modal dialog box using Win32::GUI?
I guess not. Maybe in a future release of Win32::GUI? I looked around in
the XS code and the SDK documentation, but couldn't get anything to work.
So, I wrote a class to handle this: Win32::GUI::Modalizer. Name suggestions
welcome :)
In brief it works like this when a modal window is displayed:
* When the modal window receives an Activate() event, Modalizer makes sure
all application windows are on top of other applications.
* When windows other than the modal window receives an Activate() event,
the modal window is immediately brought to the top.
This was actually a bit tricky to get working with events fired off left
and right, recursively to boot. The solution isn't perfect, but it goes a
long way. If anyone knows how to get a Window to not be displayed in the
taskbar, please let me know.
Win32::GUI::Modalizer is available in the Oasis source package. There is a
complete example in the SYNOPSIS, so you can try it out and tell me that it
doesn't work on your installation :)
