Message Box Behaviour

[Soilydude]

My application contains a custom message box object which works totally as expected but the only problem is that the user can still click on other objects in the background while the message box is open. It would be preferable if the user had to deal with the message box first before interacting with any other objects.

So is there a way of temporary nullifying all other objects in the frame other than the message box objects so that the message box is the only interactable object? For example, placing the message box on a new layer and creating some kind of behaviour which allows the user to only interact with that layer whilst the message box is visible.

Thanks in advance

Yes, put the other objects in a group. Disable the group when the message box is open and activate objects groups when closed.

Was thinking about doing that but expected it to be a messy and time consuming method. Just did it though and it's done the trick fine, thanks

Glad ya got it sorted. Could have done it with a value also, but that would have taken time too. This is why I always use groups right from the start of building an application. IMO, it's the best way to go. Just provides more control. Good luck with your project.
