Make main window wait for message box

[Lee Reid]

Hi guys/girls, When you use MessageBox.Show("message here"), the programme will effectively freeze and wait for you to press OK on the message box before continuing in the code. How do I make this happen for my own custom built pop-up windows? I'm sure this should be simple but i'm stumped :( Any help would be great! Thanks in advance :) Lee

How are you showing them? Using Show method? Use ShowDialog instead.

It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD

Use the ShowDialog method :)

SOLVED! Thanks so much! When you're new, the smallest things can be so retardedly difficult to find solutions for...

Hi, Take a look at the MessageBox.Show() overloads. There is one overload you parameterize with a IWin32Window handle (your Popup window) this should help you out showing your messagebox modal. greetz
