Modality for Windows in Another Process (Win2K) 1

[Milby7]

Does anyone know how to make (or at least create the effect that) a window created in another process is modal to your own application window i.e. like a modal dialogbox, but created outside your app?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

use mutexes

Sounds logical.

Can u elaborate a bit more, Ion/Milby

What happens if you’re scared half to death twice?

This is a question of process level synchronization. It does not deppent on what are you using, messageboxes, databases orflowers and pets. To synchronize processes are used mutexes and semaphores.

Can you stick some code on here (Ion) that shows myself (& KernelObject) how you'd implement thread synchronization in a similar situation to the above scenario, because I have not yet had any experience with "using" IPC & I can't say that I know enough about it to effectively solve my problem. Thanks again!
