Hm, I never used SCX.

An idea from MSKB#232130?

It's for VFP 5 and 6 but one never know.

llOldCloseable = _Screen.Closable
messagebox(....)
_Screen.Closable = .F.
_Screen.Closable = llOldCloseable

>>>I dont see that behaviour at all. I can open a modal form , I can interact with it, resize it, move it around, click buttons on it, use the pageframe, etc, and the main application close button is still working perfectly. I can click it and close the entire app even while the modal form is open on the screen.
>>>
>>>If the form displays a messagebox(), however, then the main app's close button is disabled. It does not re-enable until I close the model form. You cannot click on it because it is not enabled, hence closing the modal form does not immediately fire the main application window close button.
>>>
>>>>If a form is modal you can not interact with anything other then that form. If I have a modal form open and press apps closebutton, the app will close immediately after the form is closed.
