I have a point in my simple program that alerts the user of an important event. I use the Messagebox function with MB_SYSTEMMODAL to ensure message is in foreground and user must respond. The only drawback is that the user can still click on other windows, apps, taskbar or the desktop. How can I stop the user from shifting the focus elsewhere from my app?
