locking other widgets until the button is pressed on a popup widget

[dzimmerman]

so i have a popup widget that appears when something is done that will warn the user. the user either needs to cancel or process. i dont want the user to be able to click on other buttons in other widgets until they click a button in the popup box. if that makes sense

Please share a screenshot of the entire application while the popup is active, and kindly point out the buttons that you don’t want users to interact with.?

we use a scanning gun (hardwired to the pc) to scan a label into the box below...in orange...we dont want the user to be able to do this unless the popup box has been dealt with... the caveat is that i am not able to key anything manually into that scan field but the scanner is able to .... maybe if the popup box is displaying..i need to manually set focus to the popup?? hmmm that might work.

I would disable the field when showing the popup, and then when you close it, re-enable the field and set focus to it.
