MessageBox woes

[wyrmmage]

I'm having major issues with Microsoft's MessageBox function; it works fine in windowed mode, but when I'm in fullscreen mode the message box pops up behind the window, leaving me unable to click, type, or do anything with the main window.

I'm calling the function like so:

Code: Select all

MessageBox(NULL, (LPCTSTR)errorMessage, (LPCTSTR)"Epic Fail! Proceed?",MB_OKCANCEL|MB_ICONERROR|MB_APPLMODAL);

I've tried every combination of

• MB_APPLMODAL
• MB_SYSTEMMODAL
• MB_TASKMODAL

with

• MB_SETFOREGROUND
  and
• MB_TOPMOST

I've also tried

Code: Select all

HWND windowHandle;
windowHandle = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(getVideoDriver()->getExposedVideoData().OpenGLWin32.HWnd);
MessageBox(windowHandle, (LPCTSTR)errorMessage, (LPCTSTR)"Epic Fail! Proceed?",MB_OKCANCEL|MB_ICONERROR|MB_TASKMODAL|MB_TOPMOST|MB_SETFOREGROUND)

I'm using opengl, by the way.

Any idea what the problem is? I've spent a couple of days trying to fix the problem, and I'm at my wit's end

Thanks in advance
