PtMessageBox not blocking Parent

I’m using the PtMessageBox to display a blocking message. However, the
function isn’t blocking the parent window that I’m specifying. I can
block it by setting Pt_BLOCKED flag manually, but this does me no good
because I don’t know when the message has been cleared in order to
unblock the window. Is there a bug in the PtMessageBox call? Do I need
to update a library? I’m running Photon 1.13D. Do I need to upgrade to
1.14?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I’ve confirmed this in Photon 1.13D. I’ll let you know if it’s fixed
in 1.14.

Thanks…I’ll check back for your findings with 1.14.

Hi Lance,

Looks like this is a newly discovered bug for an old GUI.
(i.e. it’s still not fixed in 1.14)
You will have to work around this somehow - what I used to
do with Photon 1.13/1.14 was to make my own dialog boxes,
use ApCreateModule() to create them, and then I can add all
the callbacks I want to the buttons in them.

Regards,
Rich

Yeah, I ended up working around it in exactly that way. Thanks.
