How can I temporarily halt the main Dialog() from accepting other events? I

A modal dialog box in other words. Unfortunately there is no support for a
"true" modal dialog box in Win32::GUI AFAIK, so your way is pretty much the
way to go.
However, the script picks up other things going on
Even though the other windows are disabled? What kind of things?
and it closes my DialogBox as fast as it opens it.
Can you find out why that happens? Is there another event being triggered
by something?
If you can't get it to work, try the Win32::GUI::Modalizer module at:
http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Win32GUI/
It does what you want, although in a sligthly different way. I've had
reports of it not working 100% properly under Win95, so if anyone using
that platform would care to try it out I would be grateful.
