In answer to the question about trapping mouse clicks, you can always insert a frontScript that traps any events you want it to trap, then when you have finished your processing, remove the frontScript so that events are handled normally again.

Hi,
I have a process that creates thumbnails, and I display a dialog box with a progress bar while this is happening.
I want to stop the user from doing anything else, i.e. I want the dialog box to be "modal". But if I make the dialog box modal, the make thumbnail process stops running.
My big problem is that I want to stop users bringing other windows to the front and clicking in those windows. I've added a "on resumeStack" handler that brings the dialog box back to the front, but that doesn't work consistently. I've also thought about putting a big transparent button on all open windows and trapping all mouse clicks, but that seems overkill. Is there any way to trap all mouse clicks and key strokes on open windows without resorting to something like this?
How is anyone else handling this?
Thanks, -- Frank
