You can add a transparent panel that fills the screen, and consume the touch events to it so that the underlying views do not see them.

You can then add buttons etc to this panel.

Sub Popup_Click
   Dim pnlInput As Panel
   pnlSelect.Initialize ("Select")
   pnlSelect.Color  = Colors.ARGB (150,0,0,0)
   Activity.AddView (pnlSelect, 0, 0,   100%x, 100%y)
End Sub

Sub Select_Click 
End Sub

Using this code, you can add layouts/buttons etc to pnlSelect. When you are finished use

pnlSelect.RemoveView

to get back to your main screen.

I have created the transparent panel,but it seems that both this panel and mainscreen can receive the touch event.

You should handle the Touch event of the transparent panel.

My bad, the Select_Click sub should be

Sub Select_Click 
Return True
End Sub

to consume the touch events.

yes,you are right,it should add "Return True".thank you.
btw... how can i see if a sub has the return value?because i can't see any description about it on the document.
