I create a button Exit in my main picture "Main.pdl", I expect that when I press Exit button, the picture "Exit.pdl" will be visible at center of screen (or somewhere) with the width and height of 300 and 200 pixels respectively. However, picture "Exit.pdl" is always visible of full screen. I try many times and many ways but unsuccessfully Please help me! P/S: Newbie always has many sxtxuxpxixd and sxixlxlxy questtions, plz help.

Goodvin Posts: 8 Rating: (0)	Hi! If you use object type "PictureWindow" for displaying window "Exit", then you must set property "Adapt Size" - "YES". Otherwise, write, how youdisplaying a window.

nghaiha Posts: 33 Rating: (3)	Help me, a small problem!!!!!!!!!!! After making a dialog box appears (by pressing on a button), User still can press this button again or work with other objects in my project. I would like to prevent user doing anything before close this dialog box. How can I do that?

To do this you will need to find a workaround. One way would be to have a internal bit tag. When your popup window opens it sets the bit tag to one. At the same time you have a script on the enable property of all objects that need locking down that set the enable property to false when the tag is set to one. A little convoluted, I am sure there are tidier ways. Salma

If this is what you want: You can display a transparent rectangle covering the entire desktop under your popup. Set that to nonoperate. Change size/position of this object via button and popup. Button sets rectangle and popup Popup resets rectangle before closing. Not modal but

Not modal but Hi perdahlqvist, I check your opinion whether it is feasible. I create a buttonthen I createa rectangle covering the button. If therectangle is solid, I cannot press the button. Of course, because the button is behind the rectangle. But when I let the rectangle transparent, althought the button is behind the rectangle, I can still press the button.

Create a bmp file (only one colour) 2. In Graphics Designer: connect this in "graphic object", make the colour transparent. 3. This object can block buttons etc in runtime. (Same setup as with rectangle) By some reason objects behave differently from version to version, so this is valid right now. //Per
