Hi,
I have written a windows application with a GUI (let's call it MENU).
I own the code for this application and have access to it.
We have another application that is a third-part windows application
with a GUI interface as well (let's call it BASE). I don't have access
to the code of this application. This application has hooks through
which other applications can be called. I have defined a hook in this
application which bring up my first menu application.
The behaviour I am after is sort of like the "showdialog" behaviour,
where if my menu application is brought up, then the user can not
switch back to the base application without first closing or hitting
the OK button (which essentially will close my menu application) on my
menu application.
The user should still be able to switch to other open applications
without a problem. So in a way I am trying to immitate the feeling of
my menu application being a child window of the parent application -
though the only real behaviour I'm after is that the user should not
be able to switch to the parent application without closing my menu
application first.
Any ideas how I can achieve this, NOT having access to the code of
parent base application.
