Hi All,

I am working on Qtek8310, the problem I am facing is I call

int nResult = MessageBox(GetActiveWindow(), _T("Do this thing...?"),
_T("MyApp"), MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION|MB_TOPMOST);

from a simple exe which doenst have any window...

now when the messagebox is displayed the MessageBox is always ontop but the
problem is when I try to press yes or no with soft keys the application just
in background is operated instead of this MessageBox....
I have tried
some times when I press back key the MessageBox title becomes MyApp and then
I can press soft keys on my messagebox

I tried using
::keybd_event(VK_TBACK, 0, 0, 0);
::keybd_event(VK_TBACK, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);

just before displaying message box but this doesnt work

please tell me some work around ?

regards
Aftab Alam

try:
int nResult = MessageBox(0, _T("Do this thing...?"), _T("MyApp"),
MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION|MB_TOPMOST);

Hi riki.

I tired this as well but doenst work,
more over in actual device the Message Box is accessable after pressing back
key but in enulator it is not even after pressing back key...

int WINAPI WinMain(

HINSTANCE hInstance,

HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,

LPWSTR lpCmdLine,

int nCmdShow

)

{

int nResult = MessageBox(0/*GetActiveWindow()*/, _T("Use App...?"),
_T("MyApp), MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION|MB_TOPMOST);

return 0;

}

this is the simple code that I am writing....

::MessageBox(::GetForeground(), _T("Use App....?"), _T("MyApp"),
MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION);

Tthanks for the answer Matt, it worked,
now the problem that I am facing is that after 10 seconds or less the
messagebox goes into background automatically and after that I can not find
that messsage box and my applciation gets stuck onto that...

Try:
::MessageBox(::GetForegroundWindow(), _T("Use App....?"), _T("MyApp"),
MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION | MB_SETFOREGROUND);

Thanks,
Amanda.
