Hi Group,

Is it possible to make Access' or whole screen's background lighter
when msgbox or every other modal form is displayed? This feature
should emphasize the fact that every screen object but the modal form
is disabled.

Many thanks,
MikeX
 
Before "popping" the msgbox or another modal form, you could loop through all
the open forms and change the background color. After the msgbox or modal
form closes, then you could reset the background color.
 
Hi,

Many thanks. I have written my question inexactly, I'm sorry.

I want to program such a behavior: If my emulated msgbox pops up I
want everything else on the screen (background of visible form(s),
pictures on it (them), letters on it (them), ideally also command
bars) to get lighter/darker. I think that it will prevent users from
useless clicking on these underlying objects.

I think that this behavior is implemented for example in Vista when
you want to do some action with stronger permissions needed.

Many thanks once more,
MikeX
