Lock Window

[fermi]

I've been trying to do this for a while now with message handling and so forth, but I can't seem to get it right.

I have a GUI application and I need a button that allows the user to lock all of the GUI's components and unlock when it is ready to do more stuff.

Any suggestions?

Becuause I dont know how you are doing this, I cant give a definite answer but if you are single threaded, why not have a

1. Global function that will set a value to true or false for locking

2. Write a class to lock / unlock data

3. Add a funciton to all the classes which the data needs to be locked and call them to lock the data

4. Write a singleton class if you do indeed lock/unlock ALL the data at once and not just portions of the data.

Just a few ideas
