(winforms) making a window unselectable

[ruanr]

Hi, I want to make one window unselectable while I capture some info from another (basically a popup that will be displayed over the first). How do I stop the user from changing the window's focus? I suppose I could hide the one window, but that's not really what I'm looking to do. Thanks Ruan

Found the answer: this.CanFocus = false;

Or Show the "Popup" Form as a modal dialog.

Unfortunately, that's a read-only property X|

Do you mind elaborating? I'm new to winforms.

Nevermind, problem solved. Using showDialog(parent) instead of just show causes the desired effect :)

Yes exactly. Your were to fast for me - it was just lunch time here :-) Happy Programming Urs
