Msgbox2 without dimming screen?

[nfordbscndrd]

Msgbox2 dims the screen, making it hard to read. Is there any way to get the exact functionality of Msgbox2 without dimming the screen?

You mean, it dims the background?, both MsgBoxes does that.

Right. I want to get a modal Okay button without dimming the screen behind the button.

It will require writing a small library. If you want I can help you with the code.

Thanks. I don't know anything about writing libraries, so I've just started working on the tutorials. I'll get back to you when I've progressed, unless there is something you can tell me now to help.

How about create a panel with OK button and handle it manually?

Thanks, but that wouldn't be modal, would it?

Yes, but you can disable all views and wait for user's answer. My example code attached. Hope it can help you

If anyone wants to play with modal dialogs, this code will help you get started:

public static int Msgbox2(String Message, String Title, String Positive, String Cancel, String Negative, Bitmap Icon, BA ba) {
      AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(ba.context);
      anywheresoftware.b4a.Msgbox.DialogResponse dr = new DialogResponse(false);
      b.setTitle(Title).setMessage(Message);
      if (Positive.length() > 0)
         b.setPositiveButton(Positive, dr);
      if (Negative.length() > 0)
         b.setNegativeButton(Negative, dr);
      if (Cancel.length() > 0)
         b.setNeutralButton(Cancel, dr);
      if (Icon != null) {
         BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable();
         bd.Initialize(Icon);
         b.setIcon(bd.getObject());
      }
      AlertDialog ad = b.create();
      anywheresoftware.b4a.Msgbox.msgbox(ad, false);
      return dr.res;
   }

Hi nfordbscndrd,

I've just uploaded a small library which provides the requested feature: SPDialogs

Thank you so much! I worked through the tutorials for creating libraries, but one of the prerequisites for them is understanding Java, which I don't, so I was in for a tough time coming up with what you cranked out. Thanks again!
