Hi,

I would apprecaite if someone can help me out with my current problem. Basically  i am trying to access my main panel when a messege popup is open...say i choose a file to save my data from the user panel.....after i select the fiel.....a messege pops up saying file selected or something....but i dont want to make the user press the ok button before he can do anything else on the main UAP.....is there a way i can have the popup be there but yet hv access to the stuff on the main window and later the user can press ok....basically thats popup is just t notify the user..

Hope to hear from someone.

Thanks

You cannot do it with popup panels: a popup is intrinsically a modal window, that is user input is confined to this window and the operator cannot access other panels in your applicatin until the popup is closed.

You need to create a panel to display your messages and setup it as a "floating" panel: floating style is one of the additiona attributes of the panels, located in the same dialogue into which you specify if the panel is sizable, movable... A floating panel remains on top of other panels of the application but the user can operate on those other panels while the floating one is displayed (you'll need to show it with DisplayPanel instead of InstallPopup).
