I use MessageBox() to pop up error messages and confirm actions, which is what I think it's meant for. However, if I call MessageBox() from inside a modal dialog box procedure, Windows doesn't provide modality to the MessageBox() dialog, but instead makes it active along with the original dialog box, letting the user totally ignore the existence of the MessageBox() dialog. How can I temporarily suspend the modality of my dialog for the duration of the MessageBox()? Do I really need to exit my dialog procedure in order to have a modal MessageBox() dialog? On an unrelated topic, I'd like to start up a repository of useful Windows procedures and code fragments --- anyone else have interest in this?
