Android Question How to prevent msgbox from closing when clicked outside of it?

[Ralfs]

Just a few days ago I bought Basic4Android and I am already in love with it, however, today I encountered a problem I could not find a solution anywhere.

How can I prevent msgbox/msgbox2/ProgressDialogShow from closing when clicked outside of the objects?

I mean, I have a msgbox2 being displayed with 2 options for the user to choose, but if user taps anywhere else on the screen other than the msgbox itself, it automatically disappears.

You can not do it, but you can solve reading this:

Thank you very much for the answer, however, the solution in post #4 does not seem to do anything.

Here's what I used:

Sub Panel_Touch (Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float) As Boolean 'Return True to consume the event
Return True
End Sub

I guess I will just use panels to re-enable the msgbox2 until they choose one of the options.

I think you have used that routine for the inner panel rather than the external one, the transparent one.

I'd have to name them pnlWindow and pnlDialog, to avoid confusion.

I have another solution if you don't need the "cancel" button

            Dim AResponse As Int=-3
            Do While AResponse=-3
                AResponse=Msgbox2("A Message","A Title","Yes","","No",Null)
                Select Case AResponse
                    Case DialogResponse.POSITIVE
                        something=True
                    Case DialogResponse.NEGATIVE
                        something=False
                End Select
            Loop

Thank you very much, yours works perfectly!
By the way, do you have a similar solution for ProgressDialogShow? Nevertheless, I am happy now that I managed to make it work with the msgbox!

I thought ProgressDialogShow2 was suppose to prevent that?
